Despite this critical aspect, there scarcity research that investigates factors influencing user acceptance Metaverse. To address gap, present study expands technology model by integrating social psychological constructs such interaction, presence, conformity, emotional attachment, flow, perceived enjoyment. The data were obtained through online survey. A total 418 responses collected from users, with response rate 84%. Partial least squares structural equation modeling was used analyze survey data. Results showed that: (1) ease use (β = 0.214, p < 0,001), attachment 0.375 enjoyment 0.194, 0,001) could have positive effect on usefulness; (2) 0.142, 0.018), 0.179, 0.008), presence 0.183, 0.008) use; (3) usefulness 0.432, 0.106, 0.011), 0.209, interaction attitudes toward using Metaverse; (4) 0.174, 0.001), 0.35, flow 0.128, 0.015) positively influence users' intention not significantly 0.078, 0.141).
