Reducing Cyber Violence and Fostering Empathy Through VRN4RCV Model: Expert Review

Cyber violence has become increasingly prevalent, necessitating innovative intervention strategies. VR technology, with its immersive and empathetic capabilities, provides a unique opportunity for influencing behavioral change among perpetrators of cyber violence. This study proposes a conceptual design model for VR news, aimed at fostering empathy through immersive experiences to reduce cyber violence. The model was validated through three cycles of expert review. Expert feedback highlighted the model’s relevance and applicability while offering constructive suggestions for refinement. The findings indicate that this conceptual model provides a practical guide for designing VR news that effectively addresses the issue of cyber violence. Future research will include prototype testing and empirical evaluation to assess the model’s impact on behavioral change and empathy enhancement.
