Effectiveness of Virtual Reality Psychotherapy and Yoga on Student Performance Anxiety

The goal of this pilot clinical trial is to compare two non-pharmacological interventions-Virtual Reality (VR) and Yoga techniques-in reducing performance anxiety in students aged 16-35. Performance anxiety, commonly experienced during public speaking and examinations, affects academic performance and well-being. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the VR-based guided meditation intervention reduce performance anxiety more effectively than Yoga-based relaxation techniques? Do participants experience better emotional regulation and improved quality of life with either intervention? Researchers will compare the VR intervention group to the Yoga intervention group to determine which intervention better alleviates anxiety symptoms and fosters improved emotional regulation during school performance. Participants will: Attend six to ten sessions of either VR-based guided meditation or Yoga-based relaxation over a period of four weeks. Complete questionnaires to assess their anxiety levels, emotional regulation, and quality of life before and after the intervention.
