Dataset: Virtual Reality Exposure Therapy

Virtual Reality exposure therapy (VRET) is emerging as a promising approach in the assessment and treatment of acrophobia, the irrational fear of heights. Traditional methods often involve real-world height exposure, which can be challenging to administer and may pose safety concerns. VR technology provides a controlled and safe environment to simulate height-related scenarios, facilitating desensitization and symptom reduction. This approach leverages psychological mechanisms such as presence and emotional engagement to create a convincing therapeutic experience. The study consisted of 60 samples. The research aimed to assess the impact of VRET on acrophobia, focusing on the reducing levels of acrophobia severity and anxiety after the intervention. Further research is needed to establish the long-term efficacy of VR exposure therapy and its place within a comprehensive treatment plan for acrophobia, but it holds significant promise in revolutionizing the way we approach this prevalent anxiety disorder.

虚拟现实暴露疗法（Virtual Reality Exposure Therapy，VRET）正逐渐成为评估与治疗恐高症（acrophobia，即对高度的非理性恐惧）的极具前景的干预手段。传统治疗方法通常采用真实场景下的高度暴露训练，此类方式不仅实施难度较大，还可能存在安全隐患。虚拟现实技术可提供可控且安全的环境，用于模拟各类与高度相关的场景，从而促进脱敏治疗与症状缓解。该疗法借助在场感（presence）与情感投入等心理机制，打造出极具真实感的治疗体验。本研究共纳入60个研究样本，旨在评估虚拟现实暴露疗法对恐高症的干预效果，重点关注干预后恐高症严重程度与焦虑水平的下降情况。未来仍需开展进一步研究，以明确虚拟现实暴露疗法的长期疗效及其在恐高症综合治疗方案中的定位，但该疗法在革新这一常见焦虑障碍的诊疗方式方面，展现出了显著的应用前景。
