Abstract

Objective

This Research Note describes the MAXLab Aggression and Bystander Intervention Scenario Set (MAXLab_ABISS) and provides empirical examples of its applicability. We describe the scenarios, elaborate on the production process, provide technical specifications, and explain how materials can be obtained.

Method

This modular stimulus set, which is currently available in the English, German and Dutch language, includes 360° videos for studying decision-making in interpersonal violence. It offers researchers a complimentary method to collect data on emotions, perceptions, and reactions to violent situations using immersive technology.

Results

Analysis from two samples (n = 101 and n = 55) show the immersive scenarios of the stimulus set are effective at evoking targeted emotional experiences at the moment of a crime decision.

Conclusion

MAXLab_ABISS is a safe and effective tool for studying decision making in real-life, emotion-laden criminogenic settings. We offer insights for how researchers can further use the materials to study decision making related to crime and violence.

MAXLab 攻击和旁观者干预情景集（MAXLab_ABISS）：用于在虚拟现实中研究人际暴力情况下决策制定的模块化情景集

目的本研究报告介绍了 MAXLab 攻击和旁观者干预情景集（MAXLab_ABISS），并提供了其适用性的实证案例。我们对场景进行了描述，详细说明了制作过程，提供了技术规格，并解释了如何获取材料。方法该模块化刺激集目前有英语、德语和荷兰语版本，包括用于研究人际暴力决策的 360° 视频。结果对两个样本（n = 101 和 n = 55）的分析表明，刺激集的沉浸式场景能够有效地唤起人们在做出犯罪决定时的目标情感体验。结论MAXLab_ABISS 是一种安全有效的工具，可用于研究现实生活中充满情感的犯罪环境中的决策制定。我们就研究人员如何进一步使用这些材料来研究与犯罪和暴力有关的决策制定提出了自己的见解。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Experimental Criminology focuses on high quality experimental and quasi-experimental research in the advancement of criminological theory and/or the development of evidence based crime and justice policy. The journal is also committed to the advancement of the science of systematic reviews and experimental methods in criminology and criminal justice. The journal seeks empirical papers on experimental and quasi-experimental studies, systematic reviews on substantive criminological and criminal justice issues, and methodological papers on experimentation and systematic review. The journal encourages submissions from scholars in the broad array of scientific disciplines that are concerned with criminology as well as crime and justice problems.
