Abstract
Description
Previous research shows a trend of positive or neutral impacts of virtual reality (VR) for reducing certain forms of anxiety. For example, as measured by self-report and heart rate, Harris, Kemmerling, and North (2002) found that public speaking anxiety was reduced for university students following a
VR-based exposure treatment.Virtual reality therapy and virtual reality cognitive behavioural therapy (VRCBT) have shown to be equally effective as traditional cognitive behavioural treatment for social phobia and public speaking anxiety respectively (Klinger et al., 2005; Wallach, Safir, and Bar-Zvi,
2009). We predicted that practice under VR may reduce performance anxiety for people across a wide range of fields.
