Feasibility of virtual reality and machine learning to assess personality traits in an organizational environment.

Introduction: Personality plays a crucial role in shaping an individual's interactions with the world. The Big Five personality traits are widely used frameworks that help describe people's psychological behaviours. These traits predict how individuals behave within an organizational setting.

Assessing Executive Functioning in Schizophrenia: Concurrent and Discriminative Validity of a Novel Virtual Cooking Task.

Deficits in executive functions (EF) are strongly related to real-life functioning and negative symptoms (NS) in schizophrenia. Recently, virtual reality has enabled more ecologically valid approaches to assess EF in simulated "real-life" scenarios among which the virtual cooking task (VCT) has gained attention. However, the clinical implications of the VCT in schizophrenia have not been investigated exhaustively.

An Online Attachment Style Recognition System Based on Voice and Machine Learning.

Attachment styles are known to have significant associations with mental and physical health. Specifically, insecure attachment leads individuals to higher risk of suffering from mental disorders and chronic diseases. The aim of this study is to develop an attachment recognition model that can distinguish between secure and insecure attachment styles from voice recordings, exploring the importance of acoustic features while also evaluating gender differences.

The Past, Present, and Future of Virtual and Augmented Reality Research: A Network and Cluster Analysis of the Literature.

The recent appearance of low cost virtual reality (VR) technologies - like the Oculus Rift, the HTC Vive and the Sony PlayStation VR - and Mixed Reality Interfaces (MRITF) - like the Hololens - is attracting the attention of users and researchers suggesting it may be the next largest stepping stone in technological innovation. However, the history of VR technology is longer than it may seem: the concept of VR was formulated in the 1960s and the first commercial VR tools appeared in the late 1980s. For this reason, during the last 20 years, 100s of researchers explored the processes, effects, and applications of this technology producing 1000s of scientific papers.

A Novel Integrating Virtual Reality Approach for the Assessment of the Attachment Behavioral System.

Virtual reality (VR) technology represents a novel and powerful tool for behavioral research in psychological assessment. VR provides simulated experiences able to create the sensation of undergoing real situations. Users become active participants in the virtual environment seeing, hearing, feeling, and actuating as if they were in the real world.
