Creative drama
This intervention is unique in its integration of the Bystander Intervention Model with creative drama techniques to enhance empathy, self-efficacy, and active intervention behaviors among middle school students witnessing peer bullying. Unlike traditional anti-bullying programs that rely on lectures or cognitive-based approaches, this study uses experiential learning and role-playing scenarios to simulate real-life bullying situations and encourage emotional engagement and behavioral change.
