Summary

This study tests a school program called Renkli Adımlar (Colorful Steps) that uses games, drama, role-playing, and storytelling to prevent bullying and increase empathy. Third- and fourth-grade students take part in eight weekly 40-minute sessions. Researchers measure changes in bullying behavior, victimization, and empathy levels before and after the program.

What this could lead to
