"Unfortunately, many women and girls know all too well what it means to be
victims of verbal harassment. They are familiar with its emotional and
psychological impact. What about men? What would they feel if they were in the
place of harassed women?
A group of researchers from the University of Bologna, the University of
Messina and the CNR-ISTC (Institute of Cognitive Sciences and Technologies) has
used virtual reality to allow a sample of young men to embody a female avatar
subjected to verbal harassment.
The research group has published the results of their study in
Scientific
Reports."
