Summary
This study looks at how feeling fear in virtual reality (VR) changes a person's ability to empathize with others. Researchers will measure empathy and heart rate in 110 young adults before and after a fear-inducing VR experience. The goal is to understand the link between shared fear and empathy, not to treat any condition.
