Abstract

The aim of this article is to present a systematic review and meta-analysis of the literature on the relationship between immersive media and prosociality, specifically in the discipline of social issues. The search was conducted in January 2023 and included research published up to and including 2022. Both parts of the review consider 43 studies. For the meta-analysis, by combining these studies we obtained a total sample size of 5,390 participants. This systematic literature review mainly explores the types of immersive technology that have been used to create the immersive media stimuli considered in the studies and the types of mediated experiences elicited by these productions. Separate meta-analyses were also conducted to explore the moderating role of these variables. The results demonstrate that immersive media can have a significant positive impact on prosociality with a medium effect size. However, this effect can be moderated by the type of immersive experience elicited and by the prosocial outcome being evaluated.

了解沉浸式媒体如何增强亲社会性：系统文献综述和元分析

本文旨在对有关沉浸式媒体与亲社会性之间关系的文献进行系统回顾和荟萃分析，特别是在社会问题学科方面。检索于 2023 年 1 月进行，包括 2022 年之前（含 2022 年）发表的研究。两部分综述均考虑了 43 项研究。在荟萃分析中，通过合并这些研究，我们共获得了 5390 名参与者的样本量。这篇系统性文献综述主要探讨了用于制作研究中所考虑的沉浸式媒体刺激的沉浸式技术类型，以及这些制作所引发的中介体验类型。还分别进行了元分析，以探讨这些变量的调节作用。研究结果表明，身临其境的媒体对亲社会性有显著的积极影响，影响程度为中等。然而，这种影响会受到所激发的沉浸式体验类型和所评估的亲社会结果的调节。

期刊介绍： Empirical research in communication began in the 20th century, and there are more researchers pursuing answers to communication questions today than at any other time. The editorial goal of Communication Research is to offer a special opportunity for reflection and change in the new millennium. To qualify for publication, research should, first, be explicitly tied to some form of communication; second, be theoretically driven with results that inform theory; third, use the most rigorous empirical methods; and fourth, be directly linked to the most important problems and issues facing humankind. Critieria do not privilege any particular context; indeed, we believe that the key problems facing humankind occur in close relationships, groups, organiations, and cultures.
