Over the last 20 years, virtual reality (VR) has gained a great interest for both assessment and treatment of various psychopathologies. However, due to high costs and material specificity, VR remains disadvantageous for clinicians. Adopting a multiple transdiagnostic approach, this study aims at testing the validity of a 360-degree immersive video (360IV) for the assessment of five common psychological symptoms (fear of negative evaluation, paranoid thoughts, negative automatic thoughts, craving for alcohol and for nicotine). A 360IV was constructed in the Darius Café and included actors behaving naturally. One hundred and fifty-eight adults from the general population were assessed in terms of their proneness towards the five symptoms, were then exposed to the 360IV and completed measures for the five state symptoms, four dimensions of presence (place, plausibility, copresence and social presence illusions) and cybersickness. Results revealed that the five symptoms occurred during the immersion and were predicted by the participants' proneness towards these symptoms. The 360IV was also able to elicit various levels of the four dimensions of presence while producing few cybersickness. The present study provides evidence supporting the use of the 360IV as a new accessible, ecological, and standardized tool to assess multiple transdiagnostic symptoms.

在过去20年里，虚拟现实（VR）在各种精神病理学的评估和治疗方面引起了极大关注。然而，由于成本高昂和材料特殊性，VR对临床医生来说仍然存在劣势。本研究采用多跨诊断方法，旨在测试360度沉浸式视频（360IV）对评估五种常见心理症状（对负面评价的恐惧、偏执想法、消极自动思维、对酒精和尼古丁的渴望）的有效性。在大流士咖啡馆构建了一个360IV，其中包括自然表现的演员。对158名普通成年人的五种症状倾向进行了评估，然后让他们接触360IV，并完成了五种状态症状、在场的四个维度（地点、可信度、共在和社会在场错觉）以及晕动症的测量。结果显示，在沉浸过程中出现了这五种症状，并且可以由参与者对这些症状的倾向来预测。360IV还能够引发不同程度的在场四个维度，同时产生较少的晕动症。本研究提供了证据支持将360IV用作一种新的可获取、生态化且标准化的工具来评估多种跨诊断症状。
