That's fair, I only really glossed over the study.
But still, have they actually collected data to support illiciting these emotions works as a "potential strategy to promote behavioral change"? In the study, I haven't found anything like a pre and post experiment survey showing a different attitude towards catcalling. In my mind that's required to demonstrate the VR experiment is such a strategy.
