Abstract
The objectives of this research were: 1) to study the level of self-presentation through avatars in the metaverse, and 2) to study the relationship between body-esteem, self-concept clarity, and self-presentation through avatars in the metaverse. The population were 28 third-year students in the field of Counseling and Guidance Psychology of Valaya Alongkorn Rajabhat University under the Royal Patronage. The research instruments consisted of the body-esteem scale, the self-concept clarity scale, and self-presentation through avatars in metaverse scale. The statistics used for data analysis were frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and Spearman Rank Correlation Coefficient (r) to determine the statistical significance at the 0.05 level. The results found that: 1) student’s self-presentation through avatars in metaverse in terms of ideal self ( = 38.78, S.D. = 5.26) and multiple selves ( = 24.67, S.D. = 3.69) were at a high level. 2) Sex was significantly associated with ideal self (r = .467) and multiple selves (r = .452). 3) Body-esteem were positively correlated with consistent self (r = .378) while negatively correlated with online presentation preference (r = -.483), and ideal self (r = -.314) significantly. 4) Self-concept clarity was positively correlated with consistent self (r = .418) while negatively correlated with ideal self (r = -.340), online presentation preference (r = -.303), and multiple selves (r = -.053) respectively.
