Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is associated with a marked tendency to have exaggerated and persistent negative beliefs and expectations about oneself or the world . Although posttraumatic stress symptoms have been shown to be associated with a tendency to negatively anticipate the future, affective forecasting skills (i.e., the ability to predict one's own emotional reactions in response to a future event) have never been explored in PTSD . The hypothesis that the PTSD is associated with a negative affective forecasting bias, characterized by a tendency to predict more intense emotional responses to future negative events.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Patients meeting DSM-5 criteria for PTSD.

Experimental: group comparison

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

* Standardized psychiatric interview (Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview MINI)
* State-Trait-Anxiety Inventory (Spielberger, 1993)
* Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II, 1998)
* Cognitive Emotional Regulation Questionnaire (Jermann \& al., 2006) Participant installation and testing: 2 stages (forecasting on a computer, and exposure in virtual reality)

Task / affective forecasting:

* Step 1: forecasting about one's own emotional responses regarding pleasant, neutral and unpleasant scenarios
* Step 2: experience of the same scenarios in virtual reality

Group 2: Healthy controls who experienced a traumatic event but did not meet DSM-5 criteria for PTSD
