Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Objective: This study evaluates the effectiveness of the Gender-Based Microaggression Awareness and Prevention Psychoeducation Program, which was designed to enhance awareness of gender-based microaggressions among female university students and to improve their coping skills. The program's impact on gender role attitudes and psychological distress was also examined.

Methods: The research employed a quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test measurements. Gender-based microaggressions are defined as subtle but harmful actions or expressions targeting individuals' identities, often perpetrated unconsciously. In particular, gender-based microaggressions perpetuate traditional gender roles, undermine women's autonomy, and negatively affect psychological well-being, constituting invisible barriers in social and professional life.

The psychoeducation program consisted of six modules aiming to increase awareness of microaggressions, develop coping and assertiveness skills, enhance critical thinking regarding gender roles, and reduce gender role stress. The program included theoretical knowledge, experiential learning, assertiveness training, and stress management strategies. A total of 80 students participated, with 31 assigned to the experimental group and 49 to the control group.

Instruments: Data were collected using the Personal Information Form, Ambivalent Sexism Inventory, Female Microaggressions Scale, Depression-Anxiety-Stress Scale (DASS-21), and semi-structured interviews prepared by the researcher.

PARALLEL

This study evaluated a psychoeducation program comprising six modules, aiming to increase microaggression awareness, develop coping skills, enhance critical thinking on gender roles, and reduce gender role stress among female university students. The program included theoretical knowledge, experiential learning, assertiveness training, and stress management techniques. The sample included 80 female students, with 31 assigned to the experimental group and 49 to the control group. The experimental group received the full program, while the control group did not receive any intervention during the study but was given a brief educational session afterward. Data were collected at two points-pre-test and post-test-using the Personal Information Form, Ambivalent Sexism Inventory, Female Microaggression Scale, Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21), and a semi-structured interview developed by the researcher.
