| Abstract: | This study mapped out the advantages, disadvantages, and characteristics of extended reality interventions to increase emotion regulation in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. A scoping review was conducted and the databases SCOPUS, Web of Science, and IEEE Xplore were screened for articles describing interventions aimed at children with ASD and focused on VR or AR. Articles were included when the outcome measured emotion regulation, the paper was written in English, German, or Dutch, and was published in a peer- reviewed journal after 2013. Reviews were excluded. Out of 1038 identified papers, five were included for review. Results indicated that interventions varied in their characteristics, including the use of different technological equipment and variations in their duration. However, advantages and disadvantages were similar across interventions. All interventions named safe and controlled exposure as the main advantage of XR approaches. No disadvantages were found. In conclusion, due to the major advantage of providing children with a safe and engaging environment to face their fears, XR-based interventions demonstrate high potential to treat emotion dysregulation, if disadvantages are identified and taken into account and more research is conducted to establish effective interventions. |
