Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to examine the effects of slow breathing breathing on markers of stress in healthy college aged individuals. The breathing intervention is performed for five minutes pre and post a virtual reality active shooter drill.

The main question to answer is:

1\) what is the impact of a controlled breathing intervention and virtual reality active shooter drill on markers of subjective and biological stress?

Conditions

  • Physiological Stress

Interventions

DEVICE

Virtual- reality active shooter drill

The stress protocol used for this experiment utilized a previously studied virtual reality active shooter drill (VR-ASD). The VR-ASD scenario (\~2 min) involves the participant physically walking down a \~10-foot-long virtual hallway where they will encounter wounded victims. Once at the threshold of to the attack room, they will observe one victim on the ground with a traumatic head injury and the shooter firing his handgun at the last victim, the participant will "fire" a shot, and the shooter will fall after being shot.
