A VR Intervention for Promoting Prosocial Behavior and Well-being in Youth

A Virtual Reality (VR) Intervention for Promoting Prosocial Behavior and Well-being in Youth Transitioning From Secondary to Tertiary Education: A Randomized Controlled Trial

The objective of the present project is to develop a gamified prosocial VR intervention for youth transitioning from secondary to tertiary education, and to test the effectiveness of the gamified prosocial VR intervention for promoting prosocial behavior and well-being.

Targeting youth transitioning from secondary to tertiary education, the proposed project will adopt evidence-based intervention programs that use digital technologies to promote prosocial behavior and well-being, thereby supporting better intrapersonal and interpersonal development.

The investigators aim to develop a gamified prosocial VR intervention for youth transitioning from secondary to tertiary education and to test its effectiveness through a randomized controlled trial (RCT).
