Abstract
Acute stress is a condition that arises in response to situations that are difficult to manage, manifesting in both physiological and psychological changes. Furthermore, the occurrence of stressors for a long period can result in a chronic stress condition, leading to serious health issues. To study stress in controlled conditions, research employs cognitive tests to induce acute mental stress and subsequently investigate people response and methods for stress mitigation. However, the results of cognitive tasks performed in a traditional way can be distorted by external events affecting participants, raising doubts about whether the observed effects can be attributed exclusively to the test itself.
Recent studies have started implementing stress-inducing protocols in virtual reality (VR)
