“…Because the metaverse is a highly social environment, it makes sense to look at how its users behave as well. Studies reveal a rise in anti-social conduct, including harassment and cyberbullying (Henz, 2022;Qasem et al, 2022;Wiederhold, 2022a, b). Wiederhold (2022a, b) contends that because VR can elicit genuine grief and rage that subsequently spills over into the actual world, the impacts are analogous to situations that occur in real life (Kothgassner et al, 2017).…”

The Metaverse holds the promise of becoming the next dominant paradigm in pervasive computing, capable of reshaping numerous facets of both work and societal life. While there are numerous anticipated benefits attributed to the Metaverse, its potential negative consequences have received limited exploration. The prevailing viewpoints often rely on logical considerations drawn from historical data associated with comparable technologies, indicating a somewhat limited exploration from academic and expert perspectives. Present study delves into the multifaceted aspects of the metaverse, shedding light on both its evident benefits and obscured challenges, particularly concerning mental health and well-being. While the metaverse offers significant economic and social advantages, it also harbors a dark side that demands thorough exploration. This study emphasizes the necessity of understanding and addressing the potential adverse effects on individuals, organizations, nations, and societies as the metaverse continues to evolve. The evolving nature of the metaverse necessitates ongoing attention to minimize psychological, physiological, and social consequences. To protect the mental health and wellbeing of users navigating the shadowed realms of the metaverse, the abstract calls for a range of comprehensive measures, such as the development of national technological capabilities, the enactment of laws specific to the metaverse, increased industry-government collaboration, and international coordination.

The emergence of the metaverse, a virtual reality space, has ushered in a new era of digital experiences and interactions in global information systems. With its unique social norms and behaviors, this new world presents exciting opportunities for users to connect, socialize, and explore. However, as people spend more time in the metaverse, it has become increasingly apparent that the issue of cyberbullying needs to be addressed. Cyberbullying is a serious problem that can harm victims psychologically and physically. It involves using technology to harass, intimidate, or humiliate individuals or groups in global information systems. The risk of cyberbullying is high in the metaverse, where users are often anonymous. Therefore, it is crucial to establish a safer and more respectful culture within the metaverse to detect and prevent such incidents from happening.
