Summary

The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to test the effectiveness of an educational tool, based on virtual reality (VR), for preventing and combating bullying and for improving the emotional well-being of pre-adolescent students.

Participants will be allocated to one of two conditions:

* (1) intervention group: Embrace your power intervention for combating bullying;
* (2) waitlist (inactive control): the control group receives intervention after the study ends.

The intervention group will be compared to the control group in terms of peer aggression and victimization (bullying behaviors) and emotional symptoms.

BEHAVIORAL

Embrace Your Power: A VR Journey to Overcome Negative Emotions

EYP-VR represents a virtual reality (VR) educational tool to combat bullying. Using Meta Quest 3 passthrough technology, the app combines real-world classroom elements with immersive virtual scenarios, enabling safe and interactive experiences that simulate bullying situations but that do not place students in the roles of victims or aggressors but heroes or protectors. The app guides participants through narrative episodes focused on building empathy, practicing assertiveness, and learning conflict resolution techniques. AI-driven characters dynamically respond to students' actions as they engage in puzzles, and sensory feedback (visual, auditory, and haptic) reinforces key socio-emotional learning outcomes. The program will take place in classrooms during instructional hours. Each session will end with a feedback phase so that the school counselor can manage any issues that interest them.
