Decision Making, Stress Assessed by Physiological Response and Virtual Reality Stimuli

Abstract

Many decisions must be made under stress; therefore, stress and decision-making are intrinsically related not only at the behavioral level but also at the neural level. Additionally, virtual reality tools have been proposed as a method to induce stress in the laboratory. This review focuses on answering the following research question: Does stress assessed by physiological variables of a subject under virtual reality stimuli increase the chances of error in decision-making? The reviewed studies were consulted in the following databases: PubMed, IEEE Xplore, and Science Direct. The analysis of the consulted literature indicates that the stress induced in the laboratory using virtual reality tools and the physiological response of the central and autonomous nervous system are complementary subjects and allow the design of training and support systems for the decision-making process

Qualitative Research Methodology Applied to Studies in Administrative Sciences

“…This procedure, widely applied in qualitative research, cracks the inductive process proper to the emergence of the studied reality [28]. For example, through a review of the updated scientific literature (2019-2020) in terms of job satisfaction factors in factories, one can find studies related to robotics training processes, non-wage compensation such as trips to different continents and social relations through virtual reality [29,30]. Socio-cultural differences generate a significant gap in terms of study problems.…”
