Overview

AI-generated summary, not a substitute for reading the source.

This preliminary randomized controlled trial compares non-immersive virtual reality exposure to imaginative exposure for discarding possessions in a non-clinical sample of 80 participants. The study measures behavioral outcomes, such as object discarding frequency, alongside psychological constructs like state anxiety and emotional feelings using validated self-report tools. Results indicate that the VR group achieved a significantly higher proportion of successful discarding during the experimental session compared to the imagination group. The authors suggest non-immersive VR may help bridge the gap between imaginative and in vivo exposure for hoarding disorder, though they note the need for replication in clinical populations.
