入选标准

  • Participants with social anxiety will be recruited from the community using a number of inclusionary and exclusionary criteria. Participants must be aged 18 to 65. To ensure a fully immersive virtual reality experience, individuals will be required to self-identified as being proficient in English in order to comprehend the self-training module and dialogues, have normal or corrected to normal vision, as well as normal hearing.
  • In addition, a number of screening tools will be used to determine participant eligibility, details as follows:
  • Motion Sickness Screening
  • - The MSSQ-R will be used to screen out individuals susceptible to motion sickness or simulation sickness. Individuals scoring 13 and above will be excluded due to higher chance of experiencing simulation sickness.
  • Social Anxiety
  • - The LSAS-SR will be used to measure participants’ social anxiety, Rytwinski et al. (2009) indicated a cutoff score of 60 suggest the presence of social anxiety disorder. Therefore, individuals scoring below 60 will be excluded from the study.
  • Assertiveness
  • - In order to test the effectiveness of the assertiveness training module, individuals scoring 20 and above on the RAS will be excluded due to high levels of assertiveness or aggressiveness.

排除标准

  • The virtual environment can elicit discomfort, which may potentially confound the results and create transient harm to potential participants. There is also a theoretical risk that VR will induce seizure. Therefore individuals with a history of epilepsy, seizures, motion sickness or simulation sickness will be excluded. The current study also excludes individuals receiving concurrent psychotherapy targeting unassertiveness due to the potential of confounding results.
