这项研究评估了角色扮演程序的有效性，该程序使用虚拟现实技术来评估女性对性威胁的反应。 48 名女本科生被随机分配到标准的面对面角色扮演 (RP) 或性胁迫情境的虚拟角色扮演 (VRP)。使用多方法评估策略来评估角色扮演程序在创建现实和身临其境的情境方面的有效性。与我们的假设一致，处于 VRP 状态的女性比处于 RP 状态的女性表现出更大的负面影响和沉浸感。此外，VRP（而非 RP）条件下的坚决拒绝程度在有或没有性受害史的女性之间有所区别。这些发现证明了虚拟角色扮演程序用于评估女性在性威胁情况下的反应的有效性。
This study evaluated the validity of a role-play procedure that uses virtual reality technology to assess women's responses to sexual threat. Forty-eight female undergraduate students were randomly assigned to either a standard, face-to-face role-play (RP) or a virtual role-play (VRP) of a sexually coercive situation. A multimethod assessment strategy was used to evaluate the efficacy of the role-play procedure in creating a realistic and immersive situation. Consistent with our hypotheses, women in the VRP condition exhibited greater negative affect and immersion than women in the RP condition. In addition, the level of assertive refusal in the VRP, but not the RP, condition differentiated between women with and without a prior history of sexual victimization. These findings provide evidence of the validity of a virtual role-play procedure for assessing women's responses in sexually threatening situations.
