Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
This study will be conducted as a randomized controlled experimental research to determine the effect of Creative Drama on gender role stress, attitudes toward violence against women, and aggressive behaviors among men who experienced the earthquake. The research will take place in Malatya between November 2025 and December 2026.
The study population will consist of men who experienced the Kahramanmaraş-centered earthquake on February 6, 2023, and are still residing in Malatya. The sample will include participants reached through social media platforms who meet the inclusion criteria. The data will be collected using the Participant Information Form, the Gender Role Stress Scale for Men, the Attitudes Toward Violence Against Women Scale, and the Buss-Perry Aggression Questionnaire - Short Form.
A G\*Power analysis was performed to determine the sample size. Assuming a large effect size (0.80), a significance level of 0.05, and a power of 90%, it was calculated that each group should include 22 participants. Considering potential dropouts or exclusions, three additional participants per group will be added, resulting in a total of 75 participants (25 in the experimental group, 25 in the placebo group, and 25 in the control group).

Randomization
The names and contact details of eligible participants will be listed. The simple randomization method will be used to ensure equal group sizes. Using the website https://www.randomizer.org/
, random numbers from 1 to 75 will be generated and divided into three groups. Three folded papers labeled with the group names will be prepared, and an independent person will randomly draw them. According to the draw, each set of 25 participants will be assigned to the corresponding group - experimental, placebo, or control - based on their position in the randomized list.
Blinding
Due to the nature of the intervention, neither the researcher nor the participants will be blinded. After completion of the study, the data from the experimental, placebo, and control groups (coded as X, Y, and Z) will be entered into a database and analyzed by an independent statistician. Therefore, the study will be conducted as a single-blind design.
