IVR has emerged as a promising tool for the prevention of gender-based violence, including sexual harassment. However, evidence on the effectiveness of first-person embodiment\u2013based interventions in fostering empathy and modifying gender-related attitudes remains limited.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of REVISE (Realidad Virtual Inmersiva y Sexualidad), an IVR-based intervention designed to influence beliefs related to sexual aggression and related psychosocial mechanisms in heterosexual men through partner identity exchange.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Ninety heterosexual couples will be randomly assigned to one of three experimental conditions: (1) IVR with partner identity exchange in a sexual harassment scenario, (2) IVR with partner identity exchange in a neutral scenario, or (3) third-person observation of a sexual harassment scenario. The intervention consists of a single IVR session, with assessments conducted at baseline, postintervention, and at 3-month follow-up. Data will include self-report questionnaires, physiological measures (eye tracking and pupillometry), and semistructured qualitative interviews. The primary outcome is the change in beliefs related to sexual aggression. Secondary outcomes include empathy, gender role attitudes, relationship functioning, and physiological responses.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>At the time of manuscript submission, recruitment had not yet begun.
