VR Social Interaction Data from Two Controlled Experiments with 313 Italian Students

313 Italian school students aged 8 to 16 participated in two controlled VR experiments simulating social exclusion. The data includes questionnaire responses assessing perceptual engagement, usability, simulator sickness, and subjective feelings of social exclusion. The dataset was created by Tung Khau and last updated on 2026-05-12.

Use Cases

• Analyze the relationship between age and perceptual engagement based on immersion, realism, involvement, and presence scores.
• Investigate developmental differences in usability ratings of VR applications based on participant feedback.
• Study predictors of subjective social exclusion in virtual environments based on regression model variables.
• Compare simulator sickness experiences across age groups based on collected questionnaire data.

Strengths

• Data from two controlled experiments with a total of 313 participants.
• Measures multiple key experiential factors including perceptual engagement, usability, simulator sickness, and social exclusion.
• The VR application was refined based on feedback from the first study.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the Italian sample.
