VRAPT-ID: Pilot Study on Virtual Reality Aggression Training for Forensic Inpatients

10 participants with mild to borderline intellectual disability (MBID) in a forensic psychiatric setting were part of a pilot study investigating a Virtual Reality Aggression Prevention Training (VRAPT-ID). The dataset likely contains physiological measures like pulse rate and electrodermal activity, alongside behavioral assessments using the Social Dysfunction and Aggression Scale (SDAS). The study was authored by Patricia van Reekum and last updated on 2026-05-29.

Use Cases

• Analyzing the relationship between physiological arousal (electrodermal activity) and behavioral outcomes during VR training sessions.
• Evaluating the feasibility and preliminary effects of a VR-based intervention for reducing aggressive behavior in a specific forensic inpatient population.
• Investigating therapeutic alliance and participant-reported experiences of VR training for anger management.

Strengths

• Includes multi-modal data: physiological signals (pulse rate, electrodermal activity) and behavioral assessments (SDAS, SRS).
• Study design is a single case experimental design (SCED) with a multiple baseline approach.
• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.

Limitations

• Small scale: only 5 out of 10 participants completed the entire training, limiting statistical power.
• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, requiring manual inspection after download.
• Pulse rate variability (PRV) data contained too many artifacts and could not be reliably analyzed.
