Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Our primary outcomes are twofold, consisting of staff-report and self-report questionnaires. • Staff: The social dysfunction and aggression scale (SDAS; Widstedt et al., 1990) is recorded by staff on a weekly basis for each patient meeting the inclusion criteria to document the aggressive state of patients. The SDAS measures a broad range of aggressive behaviour, including very mild forms of aggression. SDAS data needs to be collected at least three months before VRAPT starts (T0). • Participants: Three self-report questionnaires are completed by the participants at three different times: pre-treatment (T1), after treatment (T2) and three-month follow-up (T3). - the Dutch version of the Aggression Questionnaire (AVL; Meesters, Muris, Bosma, Schouten, & Beuving, 1996). - Novaco Anger Scale and Provocation Inventory (NAS-PI; Novaco, 1994). - the State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory-2 (STAXI-2; Hovens, Lievaart & Rodenurg, 2014).	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
A participant’s individual changes in aggression, physiological arousal, coping and the way a patient reacts on provocation of others. This is measured by means of individual self-report measures of aggression, anger and impulsivity. This will be done on three moments in time, namely: pre-treatment (T1), after treatment (T2) and three-month follow-up (T3). - Buss-Durkee Hostility Inventory-Dutch (BDHI-D; Lange, Pahlich, Sarucco, Smits, Dehghani, & Hanewald, 1995). - Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS-11; Patton, Stanford & Barratt, 1995). - Reactive Proactive Questionnaire (RPQ; Raine et al., 2006). - Hostile Interpretation Bias Task (HIBT; Smeijers et al., in preparation). - Only assessed pre-treatment (T1): Child Trauma Questionnaire-Short Form (CTQ-SF; Bernstein & Fink, 1998). - Only assessed after treatment (T2): Igroup Presence Questionnaire (IPQ) (Schubert et al. 2001) - Only assessed after three-month follow-up (T3): Interview, we evaluate whether the participant has obtained his/her learning objectives and participant satisfaction of VRAPT.	—
