115. Effect of Active Virtual Reality Experience on the Memory and Emotion of an Indirect Exposure to an Adverse Event
DescriptionTo address such a knowledge gap, our study aims to tackle the mental health issues among emergency responders using an active virtual reality (VR) experience. We adopted Ehlers & Clark's (2000) cognitive model of PTSD as the theoretical framework to explore the psychological processes underlying traumatic memory among the responders. Building upon this model, we hypothesize that an active VR content (e.g., exploring a virtual natural place), which is semantically distant from the adverse event (e.g., car accident, fire), will suppress the retrieval of the memory of the adverse event and reduce negative emotion caused by the adverse event.
