Abstract

Studying adolescents’ angry peer interactions can be challenging, but virtual reality (VR) allows for observation of adolescent interactions with “peer” avatars. This study examined correlates of adolescent anger expressions during VR simulations, and found them to relate to emotional stability, sexual victimization, and feeling present in the VR simulations.
