本研究评估了使用虚拟交互式培训代理 (ViTA) 作为练习面试和获得回答求职面试中提出的问题的信心的一种方式的可衡量影响。在所有参与者（n = 153）中，大多数为男性（72.55%），平均年龄为 21.71 岁（SD = 3.14 岁）。自闭症谱系障碍（ASD；64.71%）和智力障碍（40%）是最常报告的诊断。使用受试者内重复测量设计，重复测量线性回归分析发现，平均自我效能得分增加了 0.31 (p = 0.002)，并且在所有三个分量表中均发现统计显着的增加。有必要进一步开发 ViTA 等虚拟现实干预措施，以改善患有自闭症谱系障碍和其他发育障碍的成年人的治疗结果。
This study evaluated the measurable impact of the use of virtual interactive training agents (ViTA) as a way to practice interviewing and gain confidence in responding to questions asked during job interviews. Of the total participants (n = 153), the majority were male (72.55%) with an average age of 21.71 years old (SD = 3.14 years). Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs; 64.71%) and intellectual disability (40%) were the most frequently reported diagnoses. Using a within-subjects repeated measures design, the repeated measures linear regression analysis found that the average self-efficacy score increased by 0.31 (p = 0.002), and statistically significant increases were found in all three subscales. Further development of virtual reality interventions like ViTA, that improve outcomes for adults with ASDs and other developmental disabilities, is warranted.
