TLDR
The results support the conclusion that the vestibular system is heavily involved in MSS and that trait-anxiety may play a role in M SS but only in healthy subjects.Abstract:
Several studies have suggested that anxiety may play a role in motion sickness susceptibility (MSS) variability This study aimed to assess motion sickness susceptibility in healthy subjects and chronic vestibular patients and to investigate its relationship to gender, age and trait-anxiety Healthy subjects (n=167) and chronic dizzy patients with various vestibulopathies (n=94), aged from 20 to 92 years old, were asked to complete Motion Sickness Susceptibility questionnaire (MSSQ) and trait-anxiety questionnaire (STAI-B) When patients were divided into those who had vestibular loss (n=51) vs patients without vestibular loss (n=43), the MSSQ scores (mean ± SD) for patients with vestibular loss (188 ± 309) were lower than healthy subjects (364 ± 348), who were lower than vestibular patients without vestibular loss (590 ± 397) These significant differences could not be explained by gender, age, trait-anxiety, or interaction Women had higher MSS than men, and MSS declined with age for healthy subjects and vestibular patients The overall relationship between anxiety and MSS scores was weak and only reached significance in healthy subjects These results support the conclusion that the vestibular system is heavily involved in MSS and that trait-anxiety may play a role in MSS but only in healthy subjectsread more

Presence and Cybersickness in Virtual Reality Are Negatively Related: A Review
TL;DR: It is concluded that the balance of evidence favors a negative relationship between the two factors which is driven principally by sensory integration processes.

TL;DR: Examination of literature on HMDs that report Simulator Sickness Questionnaire (SSQ) scores found older samples (mean age ≥35 years) scored significantly lower total SSQ means than younger samples, however, these findings are based on a small evidence base as a limited number of studies included older users.

Motion sickness: more than nausea and vomiting
TL;DR: Substantial progress is being made in identifying the physiological mechanisms underlying the evocation of nausea, vomiting, and anxiety, and a comprehensive understanding of motion sickness may soon be attainable.

TL;DR: Attitudes towards immersive virtual reality changed from neutral to positive after a first exposure to immersivevirtual reality, but not after exposure to time-lapse videos, implying that the contribution of VR applications to health in older adults will neither be hindered by negative attitudes nor by cybersickness.

Motion Sickness: Current Knowledge and Recent Advance.
TL;DR: This review summarizes the current knowledge about pathogenesis and pathophysiology, prediction, evaluation, and countermeasures of MS, and indicates that the sensory conflict hypothesis is the most widely accepted theory for MS.
