u     Nausea Rating:

 

Nausea is a common symptom of different types of motion sickness such as carsickness and seasickness. It is also a usual and representative symptom associated with cybersickness. Golding & Kerguelen (1992) proposed a 7-point nausea rating in assessing the motion sickness experienced by their experiment participants. This scale has been adopted in various motion sickness related research (Lo, 1998; So et al., 2001; So et al., 2001a; Woodman & Griffin, 1997).
