“…These results confirm previous findings that highlight VR's potential to induce changes in perspective taking and the sense of oneness 8 in the context of violence toward women through embodying a female's body. 14,15,19 Moreover, the carryover effects of the 360°video on the narrative found for both empathy and perspective taking should be highlighted. Because only a few minutes elapsed between the two tasks, the results suggest that watching the 360°video before the narrative helped to make the narrative more effective (i.e., the high scores on empathy and perspective taking after the narrative were probably due to the immersive experience).…”

Sexual harassment (SH) occurs when people-mostly women-are targets of unwanted sexual comments, gestures, or actions associated with a lack of empathy on the part of the offender. Virtual Reality (VR) has been defined as the ''ultimate empathy machine'' because it allows the user to take other people's perspective. The present work aims to study the effect of a 360°-video-based VR experience (vs. traditional perspective-taking task) on empathy and related concepts (i.e., violent attitude, perspective taking, sense of oneness) toward a female victim of SH in a male sample. A within-subjects design was used with 44 men who experienced both conditions (360°and narrative). Results showed the superiority of the 360°-video experience over the narrative in increasing empathy, sense of oneness, and perspective taking toward a female victim of SH. Limitations and future directions are discussed.

“…For instance, the work ''Cloud Over Sidra'' showed changes in perspective taking and a high sense of presence. 18 More specifically, in the field of SH, Steinfeld 19 found that the use of 360°video predicted-among other variables-a decrease in stereotypical views of SH.…”

“…The theoretical framework for the review conducted here is based on the definition of digital journalism offered by Steensen and Westlund (2021) in their seminal study, according to which: "Digital journalism is a phenomenon and practice of selecting, interpreting, editing, and distributing news about public affairs; it is linked to digital technologies and has a symbiotic relationship with its audiences". Innovations in journalism have led to the emergence of new ways of doing journalism and of consuming news.…”

Journalistic innovation: How new formats of digital journalism are perceived in the academic literature

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This article carries out a systematic review of the literature analysing the following new journalistic formats: structured journalism, immersive journalism, 360° video reports, virtual reality and augmented reality applied to journalism, newsgames and docugames. To do so, the scientific production examining these formats is first analysed to determine the academic impact of these studies, while identifying their characteristics and tracking their evolution over time. Second, the leading researchers in this field are identified and interviewed to ascertain their opinion about the future of journalism and changing trends in journalistic formats. The results show that the number of academic publications about journalistic innovation peaked in 2019, above all in the three journals – Digital Journalism, Journalism Practice and Profesional de la Información – that lead the way in this discipline. The 23 academics interviewed reported that innovation impacts primarily on four aspects of journalism: information and content; audience; methods and resources and news media companies.

“…El vídeo de 360-grados se considera un subcampo de la RV en el que los contenidos pueden visualizarse en diferentes dispositivos como un ordenador portátil o un teléfono móvil, sumergiéndose totalmente en el escenario virtual con la ilusión de estar en ese entorno (Huang et al, 2017). Recientemente, el vídeo a 360-grados se ha incluido como nuevo procedimiento para estudiar el acoso de género (Seinfeld et al, 2018;Steinfeld, 2020). Investigaciones muestran que adoptar la perspectiva de otra persona (es decir, imaginar cómo sería ser otra persona) puede ser un método eficaz para promover la empatía y motivar el comportamiento prosocial (Seinfeld et al, 2018;Bailenson et al, 2018;Ventura et al, 2020).…”

“…Sin embargo, se encontró una tendencia (marginalmente significativa) en la disminución del rasgo de machismo después de tres meses. Este es un resultado interesante porque subraya el potencial de la intervención para cambiar los rasgos masculinos (Steinfeld, 2020). Además, los resultados del machismo podrían ser también moderados por la situación social e histórica que vive México con el problema del feminicidio.…”

El presente artículo presenta el seguimiento de la perspectiva de una muestra masculina acerca de una mujer víctima de acoso de género en dos condiciones: un vídeo a 360-grados, y una narración escrita. El estudio tuvo como objetivo investigar sobre si las dimensiones psicológicas como la empatía, el machismo, la alexitimia y la actitud violenta, cambian después de tres meses de intervención. La muestra estuvo conformada por 35 hombres mexicanos que cumplieron ambas condiciones siguiendo un método contrabalanceado, quienes completaron cuestionarios para medir las dimensiones psicológicas en el momento previo a la intervención y posterior a ella. Los resultados mostraron cambios reflejados en el incremento en la empatía y una disminución en la actitud machista y violenta de los participantes, lo que llevó a concluir que el estudio abre nuevos caminos a posibles intervenciones para enfrentar el problema del acoso de género hacia las mujeres con la aplicación de las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación (TIC).
