Abstract
To examine the effects of virtual-reality biofeedback (VRB) on anxiety in detained adolescents, I will recruit 20 juveniles to undergo six breathing-based treatment sessions. Heart rate, sweat levels, and anxiety symptoms will be measured. If my hypothesis is supported, this will support implementing VRB in treating vulnerable adolescents with anxiety.
