Dear Participant,

Thank you for considering this opportunity to contribute to research that matters!

I’m Oleksandra Radchuk, a Master’s student in Communication Science at Ghent University, and I’m exploring how social virtual reality (VR) impacts mental well-being — especially for people who experience social anxiety, seek social support, or encounter harassment in these spaces. 

Your unique experiences with social VR platforms (like VRChat, Neos VR, or Horizon Worlds) can help us understand these connections better. Your participation might contribute to the improvement of social VR platforms by making them safer and more inclusive in the future. This survey will take about 5 - 10 minutes, and your responses will remain completely anonymous.

In case you have any questions or remarks about this research, feel free to reach out anytime at Oleksandra.Radchuk@ugent.be. I’m happy to clarify details or hear your thoughts!

Thank you for your time and generosity — you’re helping shape the future of social VR.

Warm regards and good luck,

Oleksandra Radchuk
