Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study aims to examine the effects of the Social and Emotional Developmental Support Program, which will be implemented with ninth-grade students studying in the Defne district of Hatay, on adolescents' sense of belonging, meaning in life, emotional authenticity, well-being, and resilience. The research will be carried out with adolescents living in Defne, one of the districts of Hatay most affected by the Kahramanmaraş-centered earthquake that occurred in Türkiye on February 6, 2023. The study is designed as a pre-test/post-test control group experimental design. Participants will be randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. The experimental group will receive the Social and Emotional Developmental Support Program, whereas no intervention will be provided to the control group during the study period. Data will be collected using a demographic information form and standardized instruments assessing adolescents' sense of belonging, meaning in life, emotional authenticity, well-being, and resilience. The findings are expected to contribute to the social and emotional development of adolescents affected by the earthquake and to enrich the existing body of literature.
