Individual difference measures were administered before fMRI scanning. The primary measure of interest was the suppression scale of the ERQ (Gross and John, 2003 (link)). This scale consists of four items designed to assess individual differences in suppression use (e.g., “I control my emotions by not expressing them”). This scale previously has been shown to have good internal consistency and test-retest reliability and to be independent of intelligence and socioeconomic status (Gross and John, 2003 (link)). Suppression was normally distributed according to the Shapiro–Wilk test (p > 0.05). Control measures were also administered including: (1) the Chinese-version of 48-item Neuroticism questionnaire of the NEO Five Factor Personality Inventory (Costa and MacCrae, 1992 ), which assesses an individual’s tendency to experience psychological distress; (2) the trait version of the State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI trait version; Spielberger, 1970 ), which assesses relatively stable individual differences in anxiety proneness; and (3) the reappraisal scale of the ERQ, which assesses use of cognitive reappraisal in everyday life.

With Institutional Review Board approval from the four participating medical centers, the subset of STAI data used in this investigation was taken from data for a larger longitudinal multimethod (qualitative and quantitative) study designed to examine the effects of neonatal screening and subsequent diagnosis on the parent-infant relationship and the potential mechanisms that may contribute to the quality of this relationship. Based upon theories of attachment (Belsky, 2005 ; Bowlby, 1973 ) and emotion regulation (Gross, 1999 ; Richards & Gross, 2000 (link)), parental anxiety was proposed to be one of the mediating variables related to the quality of interactions between parents and their infants. Given that the Marteau and Bekker (1992) instrument was validated with a sample that included a group of pregnant women, it was hypothesized that the Marteau and Bekker (1992) measure of state anxiety as a cognitive, future oriented, and global phenomenon would be a more salient, and therefore, more sensitive to state anxiety in parents of young infants than the Chlan et al. (2003) (link) instrument.

The HADS is a self-report rating scale of 14 items on a 4-point Likert scale (range 0–3). It is designed to measure anxiety and depression (7 items for each subscale). The total score is the sum of the 14 items, and for each subscale the score is the sum of the respective seven items (ranging from 0–21). It is worth noting that items referring to depression symptoms that describe somatic aspects of depression (e.g. insomnia and weight loss) are not included in the scale. The Greek translation by 'nFer Nelson Publishing' (The Chiswick Centre, 414 Chiswick High Road, London, UK) was used with permission.
The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) was used to measure depression. It is designed to examine both somatic and cognitive aspects of depression. The BDI is a 21-item self-reporting scale that has been used, apart from its original purpose (assessment of the severity of known depression), for screening purposes. The Greek version has been translated and validated previously [20 ] and has been widely used to date.
The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI)[21 ] developed by Spielberger is used to measure anxiety. It is a 40-item scale made up of two 20-item subscales (one state and one trait), and has been widely used to asses anxiety not only in clinical but in non-clinical samples. The STAI (Form X) has been translated and validated in Greek [22 ]. The BDI and STAI were administered to patients only.
All of the scales used are self-rated and were administered by five of the researchers. The aim was that the examiners would interfere as little as possible in the patient's completion of the scales. For homogeneity of the results, the scoring of the scales was performed by only one of the researchers.

Participants were asked to consume their lunch ad libitum from a multiple-item buffet test meal on two separate days, scheduled at least two days apart. Children were randomized to complete either the “normal” meal (at which they were told to “eat as much as you would at a normal meal”) or the “binge” meal (during which they were instructed to “let yourself go and eat as much as you want”) first. Participants were instructed to adhere to an overnight fast initiated at 10:00pm the night before each test meal visit. At each test meal day, participants were instructed to consume an entire standard breakfast consisting of 288 kcal (240 mL apple juice, 1 English muffin, and 6 g butter) at 8:40am. Following the breakfast, each subject remained at the NIH, participating in sedentary activities (e.g., playing computer games, reading, doing arts and crafts, etc.) and was observed to ensure there was no food intake until the afternoon test meal.
At 2:30pm, each child was presented with a 9,835 kcal buffet test meal (3 (link)) with individual items that varied in macronutrient composition (12% protein, 51% carbohydrate, 37% fat across all foods) and contained a wide assortment of foods (Table 1). When each child entered the room containing the buffet, the following tape-recorded instruction was played for the normal meal: “Eat as much as you would at a normal meal;” and for the binge meal, “Let yourself go and eat as much as you want.” Participants were then left alone in the room containing the buffet to eat ad libitum. During the test meals, children viewed pre-taped episodes of a television show with commercials removed. Episodes were pre-viewed so that none involved food, eating, shape, or weight-related topics. Participants were instructed to open the room door when they were finished eating. Time spent eating was measured from the time the investigator left the room to the time the participant opened the door after eating. The amount of each food and beverage consumed was measured using the differences in weight of each food item before and after the meal. Energy content and nutrient composition for each food was determined according a metabolic diet study management system that uses the USDA Nutrient Database for Standard Reference, Release 16 (Viocare Technologies, Inc., Princeton, NJ), as well as nutrient information supplied by food manufacturers.
Immediately before, and again, after each test meal, participants completed the psychometrically sound, State Form of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children (STAIC) (29 ) which measures anxiety “right now, at this very moment.” They also completed the well-validated Brunel Mood Scale (BRUMS) (30 (link)), which measures present mood state and generates six subscales pertaining to Anger, Confusion, Depression, Fatigue, Tension, and Vigor.

Besides personal socio-demographic information such as gender, age, education level, marital status, occupation, and religious status, the following instruments were used for the data collection.
The CES-D comprises 20 items, and employs four-point Likert scales, ranging from “rarely or none of the time” (0 point) to “most or all of the times” (3 points). The total score ranges from 0 to 60, in which a higher score indicates more severe depressive symptoms [7 (link)]. Generally, a total CES-D score of 16 or greater can be considered indicative of depression [17 ]. But the validity and psychometric properties of several items (e.g., Items 7, 15,17, 19 ) on the CES-D have been questioned by the researchers [18 (link)].
The Trait Anxiety Inventory (TAI) of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) (Spielberger, 1983) consists of 20 statements and is usually used to evaluate respondents’ general tendency to perceive situations as threatening [19 ]. The total score on the TAI ranges from 20 to 80 [20 (link)]. In the present study, the Cronbach’s alpha values for the TAI in suicide attempters and comparison residents were 0.903 and 0.852, respectively.
The Beck Hopelessness Scale (BHS) [21 ,22 (link)] is a 20-item tool designed to measure three major aspects of hopelessness: feelings about the future, loss of motivation, and expectations. The BHS is a 5-point Likert scale, with answers from 1 (complete match) to 5 (in complete opposition), and a total score between 20 and 100. The Cronbach’s alpha values for the BHS were 0.954 and 0.883, respectively, for suicide attempters and comparison residents in this study.

During weekly lab visits for the pre- and post-intervention measures, we asked participants to take affect-related questionnaires including State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI)64 (link), Center for Epidemiological Studies-Depression (CESD)65 (link), Profile of Mood State (POMS)66 . As POMS includes multiple mood states, we only averaged negative mood items for this analysis. As the three types of questionnaires were measured at Week 1 and 2, we had a total of six pre-intervention emotion measures for each participant. Likewise, we also have a total of six post-intervention emotion measures. To create summary scores for negative affect, we first standardized each measurement separately for younger and older participants. We next ran a principal component analysis on the six normalized pre-intervention measures separately for younger and older adults. This resulted in the pre-intervention summary score as well as one dominant component whose coefficient matrix elements indicate factor loadings for the six emotional measures. Using those matrix elements as weights, we calculated the weighted average of the six corresponding normalized post-intervention emotional measures (Week 6 and 7) to obtain post-intervention summary scores.

The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II) [15 (link)] and Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD [16 (link)]) were used to assess possible depressive symptoms in the participants. The Clinical Global Impression scale (CGI) [17 ] was used to measure the overall severity of the patients’ mental illness. The Personal and Social Performance (PSP) scale is a valid, reliable and standardized measuring instrument for recording psychosocial functional level [18 (link)]. Anxiety was assessed using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-I and STAI-II) [19 ] and verbal intelligence was assessed using the Multiple Choice Vocabulary Test (MWT, Version B) [20 ].
Obsessive–compulsive symptoms were assessed in the patient group using the Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS) checklist and Y-BOCS severity scale [21 ], whereas healthy subjects completed the Mini-PLUS Interview [22 ] and the Maudsley Obsessional Compulsive Inventory (MOCI) [23 (link)]. All other questionnaires listed, including the Metacognition Questionnaire (MCQ-30) and the Post-Traumatic Embitterment Disorder (PTED) self-rating scale, were used with all the study participants.

The study is composed of two phases including an online questionnaire session and a face-to-face meeting (Fig. 3). During the online questionnaire session, and after providing an initial online informed consent, participants completed the sociodemographic questionnaire, the MSSQ, the ITQ, the questionnaire on the use of new technologies, the GPTS-B, the FNE, the CES-D, the AUDIT and the questions concerning nicotine consumption. After this first measurement, participants were invited between 3 and 15 days on the campus of the University for the second phase. After providing a second-written informed consent, the familiarization immersion phase took place and participants were immersed for 2 min with the instruction to count the number of animals. After the familiarization immersion phase, participants completed the STAI-Y A, the SSQ, the pre-immersion alcohol and nicotine craving. Then, the immersion phase started, and participants were given the following instructions: “You are now going to be immersed in a bar for two and a half minutes. Persons and objects will be present around you. Please, pay attention to them and just behave as you would in a similar situation”. Finally, participants were instructed to complete the post-immersion questionnaires by referring to what happened during the immersion and were given the alcohol and nicotine craving, the SSQ, the S-FNE, the ATQP and ATQN, the SSPS, and the questionnaire of presence. All immersions took place using the wireless Oculus Go headset (Panel Type: 5.5″ Single Fast-Switch LCD 2560 × 1440; 1280 × 1440 pixels per eye; Refresh Rate: 60–72 Hz; FOV: 110°).

The study was presented to the participants as the validation of a photorealistic immersive environment in the general population. Participants were aged between 18 and 50 years. Exclusion criteria included color blindness, brain injury or concussion with blackouts, epilepsy, severe migraine, cancer, hepatic disease, carbon intoxication, dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Participants with sever motion sickness (i.e., reporting being consistently nauseated and/or vomiting in at least two transport situations) were also excluded based on a modified version of the motion sickness susceptibility questionnaire (Golding 1998 (link)). This questionnaire is used to determine sensitivity to kinetosis, which is moderately correlated with a general tendency towards cybersickness (Kim et al. 2005 (link)).
