Sponsor: Ataturk University
Summary
This study aims to examine the effect of Creative Drama on gender role stress, attitudes toward violence against women, and aggression among men who experienced the February 6, 2023 earthquake in Türkiye (centered in Kahramanmaraş). A total of 75 men (25 experimental, 25 placebo, and 25 control) will participate in the study. The experimental group will take part in a creative drama program, the placebo group will watch films focusing on masculinity roles and violence for 10 weeks, and no intervention will be applied to the control group. Data will be collected using the Gender Role Stress Scale for Men, the Attitudes Toward Violence Against Women Scale, and the Buss-Perry Aggression Questionnaire - Short Form, and will be analyzed by an independent statistician. The study aims to enhance the psychological well-being of men affected by the earthquake in Türkiye, reduce violence against women, and contribute to gender equality.

Interventions
Creative Drama Program
A structured 10-week Creative Drama program designed to reduce gender role stress, negative attitudes toward violence against women, and aggressive behaviors. Each session will include warm-up activities, improvisation, role-playing, and reflection components. Sessions will be conducted once a week for 90 minutes by a certified drama educator.
Film Viewing Sessions
Participants in the placebo group will watch 10 Turkish films over a 10-week period (one per week) that include themes of masculinity, gender roles, and violence. This intervention is designed as an attention-control condition to match the structure of the experimental group without providing therapeutic content.
