Summary

This randomized controlled experimental study examined the effect of a storytelling intervention on cyberbullying and empathy levels in adolescents. The study population consisted of 5th- and 6th-grade middle school students, and the sample included students involved in cyberbullying. Participants were allocated to intervention and control groups using stratified randomization by gender. The intervention group received four storytelling sessions, whereas no intervention was delivered to the control group during the study period. Outcomes were assessed at baseline, post-test, 3-month follow-up, and 6-month follow-up. After the study was completed, the control group was provided with cyberbullying education. The study investigated whether the intervention led to differences between groups in cyberbullying and empathy levels.
