| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study was to demonstrate whether interacting with a future self-avatar in a VR environment could be effective for promoting career development while maintaining mental health. Two experiments showed that using 3D self-avatars in a VR environment helps to visualize the future more vividly, increasing confidence in achieving career-related goals and career readiness. Through these studies, intervention techniques were developed to encourage proactive action with a concrete image of the future.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
これまでのキャリア教育においては、将来の生活の様子を想像したり、未来の自分に向けて手紙を書いたりなど、当人の想像力や書く力に頼った方法が行われてきた。本研究では、この問題に対して、3Dアバターを用いて仮想空間上で会話を行うという環境を開発し、効果検証を行った。アバターによって未来の自分が可視化されることで円滑で有意義な会話が促され、キャリアに関する目標や計画性を高めることが可能となることが示された。
