This review demonstrates AR's capacity to influence psychology and behavior in profound ways. We begin by providing a concise introduction to AR, considering its technical, practical, and theoretical properties. Next, we showcase a multi-disciplinary set of recent studies that explore AR's impact on psychological processes and behavioral outcomes. We conclude by offering a selection of potential future research directions designed to deepen our understanding of the psychological and behavioral implications of AR experiences.
