Brief Summary:
Self-efficacy refers to the perceived belief to cope effectively by personal efforts with challenging situations and problems Bandura 1977 Basic research has shown that increases in perceived self-efficacy can enhance the extinction of fear Zlomuzica et al 2015 This study is aimed at translating these findings into a useful clinical application to augment exposure-based treatment outcome
Detailed Description:
In this study the effects of self-efficacy enhancement on treatment outcome in patients with height phobia will be investigated
Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the following conditions i virtual reality exposure self-efficacy enhancement ii virtual reality exposure control intervention iii virtual reality exposure only The amount of exposure is identical across groups ie maximum of 1 hour of exposure The self-efficacy and the control intervention involve the retrieval of the exposure session with or without a focus on personal mastery experiencesachievements respectively
Treatment-induced changes as well as the effects of self-efficacy enhancement will be measured on the subjective level ie in-vivo Behavioral Approach Tests BATs church tower physiological level heart rate during the BATs and subjective level subjective fear during the BATs as well as height-phobia related questionnaires at each of the three assessments ie pretreatment after which the exposure will conducted on the same day ie day 1 posttreatment which is scheduled approximately 2-3 days after exposure and follow-up assessment which will take place 1-month after exposure
