Summary
This study tests whether a 10-week creative drama program can reduce gender role stress, aggression, and negative attitudes toward violence against women in men who survived the 2023 Türkiye earthquake. 75 married men aged 18-65 will be split into three groups: drama, film-watching, or no activity. Researchers will measure changes using questionnaires before and after the program.
