Abstract
Virtual reality (VR) is an immersive technology that can simulate different environments and experiences. Social-emotional learning (SEL) is a process through which individuals develop the skills, knowledge, and attitudes to understand and manage their emotions, establish positive relationships, and make responsible decisions. SEL promotes healthy emotional regulation in adolescents. However, VR interventions for adolescent emotion regulation have received less attention. The aim of this research is to identify a VR element that includes knowledge in relation to SEL since 2017 through systematic literature reviews (SLRs). A broad review of the current literature was conducted in three databases, namely Scopus, IEEE, and WOS. Data were extracted, including age ranges, year published, and medical procedures, using a search term. The result suggests a requirement list to design a virtual reality for social-emotional learning that promotes a positive impact on emotion regulation for Malaysian adolescents.
