This study provides a comprehensive review of the application of virtual reality (VR) in social and emotional learning (SEL) for children and adolescents over the past decade (January 2013-May 2023), with a specific interest in the relations between their technological and instructional design features. A search in Web of Science resulted in 32 relevant articles that were then manually screened. Coding analysis was conducted from four perspectives: participant characteristics, research design, technological features, and instructional design. The analysis provides insights into the VR literature regarding publication trends, target populations, technological features, instructional scenarios, and tasks. To test the effectiveness of VR interventions for promoting SEL, a meta-analysis was also conducted, which revealed an overall medium effect size and significant moderating effects of SEL disorder type and instructional task. Finally, based on the research results, the practical implications of and future research directions for applying VR in SEL were discussed.
本研究全面回顾了过去十年（2013年1月至2023年5月）虚拟现实（VR）在儿童和青少年社会情感学习（SEL）中的应用，特别关注其技术和教学设计特征之间的关系。在科学网进行搜索后，筛选出32篇相关文章并进行人工筛选。从参与者特征、研究设计、技术特征和教学设计四个角度进行编码分析。该分析为VR文献在出版趋势、目标人群、技术特征、教学场景和任务等方面提供了见解。为了测试VR干预促进SEL的有效性，还进行了一项荟萃分析，结果显示总体效应量中等，且SEL障碍类型和教学任务具有显著的调节效应。最后，基于研究结果，讨论了在SEL中应用VR的实际意义和未来研究方向。
