A Virtual Reality Study of Preservice Teachers’ Attachment Style and Their Appraisal of Threat after Encountering Unsupportive Manager

We developed a measure of threat appraisal in virtual reality. Preservice teachers with higher level of anxious attachment perceived the interactions simulated in virtual reality as more threatening. Preservice teachers that were exposed to unsupportive manager took longer to decide how to respond and rated the interaction as more stressful.
