About this trial
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to test the effectiveness of an educational tool, based on virtual reality (VR), for preventing and combating bullying and for improving the emotional well-being of pre-adolescent students.
Participants will be allocated to one of two conditions:
* (1) intervention group: Embrace your power intervention for combating bullying; * (2) waitlist (inactive control): the control group receives intervention after the study ends.
The intervention group will be compared to the control group in terms of peer aggression and victimization (bullying behaviors) and emotional symptoms.
