Summary
Virtual reality (VR) effectively enhances social and emotional learning (SEL) in youth. This review highlights VR
Area of Science:
- Educational Technology
- Psychology
- Human-Computer Interaction
Background:
- Social and emotional learning (SEL) is crucial for child development.
- Virtual reality (VR) offers immersive environments for educational interventions.
- The integration of VR in SEL requires understanding technological and instructional design.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review the application of VR in SEL for children and adolescents from 2013-2023.
- To analyze the relationship between technological and instructional design features of VR in SEL.
- To evaluate the effectiveness of VR interventions for promoting SEL through meta-analysis.
Main Methods:
- Systematic literature search in Web of Science (January 2013-May 2023).
- Screening and coding analysis of 32 relevant articles based on participant characteristics, research design, technology, and instructional design.
- Meta-analysis to assess the overall effect size and moderating factors of VR interventions in SEL.
Main Results:
- The review identified publication trends, target populations, and common technological and instructional features.
- Meta-analysis revealed a medium overall effect size for VR interventions in promoting SEL.
- Significant moderating effects were found for SEL disorder type and instructional task.
Conclusions:
- VR is a promising tool for enhancing social and emotional learning in young populations.
- Technological and instructional design elements significantly influence VR's effectiveness in SEL.
- Future research should explore specific design features and long-term impacts of VR for SEL.

Modeling, a key technique in therapy, uses observational learning to help clients acquire and practice new skills by watching therapists demonstrate desired behaviors. This approach, rooted in Albert Bandura's concept of vicarious learning, plays a significant role in therapeutic interventions for various psychological conditions, including social anxiety, ADHD, and depression.

01:30Socioemotional Development during Infancy
55
Socio-emotional development in infancy is primarily shaped by early emotional responses and social connections, with temperament playing a central role. Temperament refers to the consistent patterns in an individual's emotional and behavioral responses, observable even in infancy. By examining temperament, researchers can better understand an infant's unique ways of interacting with the world, influencing subsequent personality and socio-emotional growth.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition marked by persistent deficits in social communication and interaction alongside restrictive and repetitive behaviors or interests. ASD is sometimes accompanied by intellectual impairment.
These core symptoms manifest differently among individuals, ranging from mild to severe. The disorder's complexity extends beyond its clinical presentation, encompassing a diverse range of biological, cognitive, and sociocultural influences.
