Threat Imminence Processing and Anxiety Generalization in Ecologically Valid VR Stressors

This investigation measures amygdala reactivity, heart rate variability, and defensive behavioral responses as participants encounter graded threat scenarios in spatially realistic virtual environments. The research clarifies how perceptual realism and embodied presence in VR modulate threat appraisal mechanisms and anxiety generalization patterns.
