Abstract

This study identified a positive role of augmented reality (AR) hypnosis in the field of psychotherapy. The study utilised a 2 (gender: male vs. female) × 2 (hypnosis mode: AR hypnosis vs. ordinary hypnosis) between-groups experimental design. The psychological perception utility was significantly higher in females than in males, and the psychological perception utility of AR hypnosis was significantly higher than that of ordinary hypnosis. Differences existed between AR hypnosis and ordinary hypnosis for both males and females. The results show that AR hypnosis is effective in the psychotherapy of psychological stress and anxiety. This study serves as an important reference regarding psychotherapy based on AR.
