VR simulations significantly enhance emotional empathy in students compared to traditional learning methods.
Participants in the VR group scored an average of 42.15 on emotional empathy, which was higher than both video (36.82) and control groups (31.47).
The study utilized a randomized controlled trial with 120 undergraduate students, measuring empathy before and after exposure to the interventions.
Results indicate VR's potential as a valuable educational tool for fostering empathy, though it's less effective for cognitive empathy.
