Dr. Kincaid is a clinical psychologist specializing in anxiety disorders. She is investigating the therapeutic outcomes of a virtual reality exposure therapy (VRET) program for individuals with severe agoraphobia.

Dr. Kincaid is going to interview two separate groups of participants:

  • Group A: Patients who undergo a 6-week VRET program alongside traditional cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).
  • Group B: Patients who undergo only traditional CBT during the same 6-week period.

Dr. Kincaid carries out semi-structured clinical interviews with both groups at the end of the 6 weeks to evaluate their progress in navigating public spaces. She plans to use both open questions and closed questions in her interview schedule.
