Call for Research For Inclusion in Meta-Analysis of the Persuasive Effects of 360 VR Videos Dear colleagues, We are working on a meta-analysis that examines the persuasive effects of 360 degree VR videos. In particular, we are interested in including experimental studies that expose participants to a 360 video and measure its persuasive impact (e.g., empathy, beliefs, attitudes, intentions, behaviors). We have searched multiple databases to ensure that we include all published studies in this area. We also hope to include unpublished work (e.g., conference papers) in our analysis. If you have an unpublished study relevant to our analysis, please…
