This study explores the psychological impact of Metahuman Resurrection Technology (MRT) on bereaved individuals, focusing on how different attachment styles influence both the willingness to utilize MRT and the effectiveness of grief relief. A survey of 1114 bereaved individuals revealed that secure attachment styles experienced the highest levels of grief relief and willingness to use MRT, while dismissive styles showed the lowest. The study also highlights the mediating role of grief relief between attachment style and MRT usage, with significant effects observed in preoccupied and fearful individuals but not in dismissive ones. These findings underscore the potential of MRT as a digital tool for grief counseling, emphasizing the need for tailored interventions based on attachment styles to enhance mental health outcomes. Future research should consider longitudinal designs and biometric assessments to further explore the long-term impact of MRT on grief processing
