Selected Research Projects
VR and Refugee Crises: Research on the role of emerging technology, such as VR, in humanitarian disasters often demonstrates an increase in positive attitudes and actions. In this project, we are interested in understanding the role of VR technology and its connections to empathy, sympathy, political ideology, and various outcomes such as intention to donate.
Underage Alcohol Use: With VR becoming more accessible, understanding its effects on impressionable users is critical. This project aims to shed light on potential risks and inform strategies to protect underage VR players. By addressing this gap, we can better balance innovation with responsibility, ensuring VR remains a safe space for all users.
