The issue of bullying prevention has become a significant concern in the present time. This study aims to map the relationship between Virtual Reality (VR) and bullying prevention through topic analysis and co-occurrence analysis to understand the potential of VR technology in the fight against bullying by enhancing bystander empathy. The research methodology involves the identification of previous publications related to VR and bullying prevention extracted from the Scopus database. Topic analysis and co-occurrence analysis quantify the interconnections between topics based on the frequency of their simultaneous appearance in each context. The research findings indicate the potential of VR in influencing viewer empathy and promoting proactive behavior when they witness bullying. Previous studies cover the utilization of VR to prevent bullying through bystander intervention and support for bullying victims, as well as bullying simulations to enhance bystander empathy. These studies provide valuable insights into the role of VR technology in effectively combating bullying. The research findings presented are descriptive analysis and visual illustrations with the assistance of VOSviewer software.
