This research investigates the impact of various personality traits on individuals' inclination to engage with the metaverse. The study finds that extraversion, agreeableness, neuroticism, narcissism, machiavellianism, and psychopathy have a significant influence on the intention to use metaverse. Additionally, attitudes towards the metaverse and fear of missing out (FOMO) play mediating and moderating roles, respectively.
This research investigates how various personality traits influence individuals' inclination to engage with the metaverse. The study gathered 332 responses to assess the hypotheses derived from both the Big Five personality traits and the Dark Triad personality framework. The study also investigates the mediating effect of attitude towards the metaverse and the moderating role of fear of missing out (FOMO). The findings suggest that extraversion, agreeableness, neuroticism, narcissism, machiavellianism and psychopathy have a significant impact on the intention to use metaverse. Further, attitudes towards the metaverse and FOMO are found be to significant mediator and moderator, respectively. Finally, artificial neural network (ANN) results reveal narcissism to be the most important predictor of intention to use metaverse. This research makes a valuable contribution to the field of personality traits and offers insights to marketers regarding the personality traits that are more inclined to embrace the metaverse.
