Here's a revised version with exactly 200 words: As extended reality (XR) technology advances, so does the exploration of its potential within psychological domains. However, its application in psychology is still novel, resulting in a lack of a widely accepted framework for developing effective XR psychological interventions, limiting comparability across studies. Establishing such a framework requires a thorough understanding of the current landscape of XR interventions. This systematic review provides a comprehensive overview of the use of XR technology in psychological interventions, focusing on the psychological constructs studied and their measurement methods. A systematic search using Elsevier Scopus identified 167 studies that met the inclusion criteria. Seven overarching categories of dependent variables were identified, including mental health, exposure therapy, cognitive functioning, health, social well-being, and behavioural and attitudinal change. Examination of the measurement methods revealed 497 outcome measures, differentiated between intervention-related and participant-related measures. Participant-related measures were further classified as self-report, behavioural, or physiological measures. Self-report measures were the most prevalent across all categories, while the use of behavioural and physiological measures was comparable. Inconsistencies in measuring similar dependent variables underscored the need for methodological standardization, prompting the development of a checklist to guide researchers in designing future XR psychological interventions based on the review’s findings. |
