This research study is testing whether virtual reality can help doctors better understand how people experiencing paranoid delusions perceive threats and behave in social situations. Researchers will place you in a virtual environment using a headset and observe how you move around and react to different scenarios. This could help improve how mental health professionals diagnose and support people from different cultural backgrounds.
Asylum seekers and people from minority backgrounds have higher rates of psychosis, but current diagnostic tools don't work well across different languages and cultures. This study uses virtual reality because it relies less on language and may work better for people with different cultural communication styles.
