A pilot RCT of virtual reality job interview training in transition-age youth on the autism spectrum / Helen M. GENOVA in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 89 (November 2021)
[article]
Titre : A pilot RCT of virtual reality job interview training in transition-age youth on the autism spectrum Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Helen M. GENOVA, Auteur ; Katie LANCASTER, Auteur ; James MORECRAFT, Auteur ; Mikayla HAAS, Auteur ; Alexandra EDWARDS, Auteur ; Michael DIBENEDETTO, Auteur ; Denise KRCH, Auteur ; John DELUCA, Auteur ; Matthew J. SMITH, Auteur Article en page(s) : 101878 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Transition age youth Adolescents Job interview Virtual reality RCT Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Adolescents on the autism spectrum may have difficulty obtaining and maintaining employment. One particular obstacle for adolescents on the autism spectrum is the job interview. The purpose of the current pilot randomized controlled trial is to examine the preliminary effectiveness and feasibility of a virtual reality job interview tool (VR-JIT) in improving job interview performance in adolescents on the autism spectrum. Method The study was implemented in a high school setting. Fourteen adolescents on the autism spectrum were randomly divided into two groups: an experimental group (n = 7) and a services as usual (SAU) control group (n = 7). The intervention group received 10 h of VR-JIT, which includes interviewing with a virtual human and receiving feedback. All participants performed a video-recorded mock job interview at pre-test and post-test, which was rated by blinded assessors to track interview skills. Students filled out questionnaires related to job interviewing anxiety and self-efficacy pre- and post- intervention. Feasibility metrics were recorded as well. Results Repeated Measures ANOVA revealed improved a metric of job interview performance in the experimental group following the intervention compared to the control group, indicated by medium to large effect sizes. However, perceptions of anxiety and self-efficacy did not improve following the intervention. Students reported that the intervention was easy to use and enjoyable. Conclusions The current pilot study indicates preliminary evidence of the VR-JIT’s effectiveness in improving measures of job interview performance in adolescents on the autism spectrum, even though their own perceptions did not improve. Importantly, the VR-JIT intervention was implemented in a school setting, demonstrating feasibility in its adoption as part of curriculum to help improve employment outcomes in transition age youth on the autism spectrum.
