Summary

This study tested a virtual reality program called Impact VR to help youth aged 10-17 with conduct disorder learn to recognize and regulate emotions. The program involved four weekly sessions in a private setting. Researchers measured changes in callous-unemotional traits, conduct problems, and emotion recognition. The goal was to see if VR could reduce symptoms and improve behavior.
