Creative Drama on Gender Role Stress, Attitudes Toward Violence Against Women, and Aggression
This study is testing whether a creative drama program can reduce gender role stress, hostile attitudes toward women, and aggressive behavior in men who survived the 2023 earthquake in Türkiye. Participants are randomly placed into drama sessions, film-viewing sessions, or no intervention for 10 weeks. This is a Phase N/A behavioral study, meaning it is testing a structured social program rather than a drug or medical treatment.
