使用虚拟现实（VR）来检查由人际接触介导的危险行为，例如同意与某人发生性关系，饮酒或吸烟，提供了特别的希望和挑战。在虚拟环境（VE）中，可能引发冲动反应的社会情境刺激是可以被仔细控制的，然而，如果参与者没有充分沉浸在环境中，对风险的操纵可能是不可信的。目前的研究考察了个体是否能够在涉及潜在人际关系风险的虚拟现实中表现出足够的证据：与潜在的约会对象会面。研究结果为VR在研究此类人际风险情境中的潜力提供了一些证据。参与者对场景的反应和对情境的风险相关反应表明，虚拟现实的具体化本质超越了风险不可能的现实，允许参与者体验充分的情境嵌入或存在。
Using virtual reality (VR) to examine risky behavior that is mediated by interpersonal contact, such as agreeing to have sex, drink, or smoke with someone, offers particular promise and challenges. Social contextual stimuli that might trigger impulsive responses can be carefully controlled in virtual environments (VE), and yet manipulations of risk might be implausible to participants if they do not feel sufficiently immersed in the environment. The current study examined whether individuals can display adequate evidence of presence in a VE that involved potential interpersonally-induced risk: meeting a potential dating partner. Results offered some evidence for the potential of VR for the study of such interpersonal risk situations. Participants’ reaction to the scenario and risk-associated responses to the situation suggested that the embodied nature of virtual reality override the reality of the risk’s impossibility, allowing participants to experience adequate situational embedding, or presence.
