All of the participants in the study were seventh grade students in the secondary school and 14 years old. The experiment group had 13 participants (6 male, 7 female), and the control group consisted of 12 participants (5 male, 7 female).

In order to examine the research questions, Mann Whitney U-test was conducted between the pre-test and post-test scores of the experimental and control groups. According to the findings, while there was no significant difference between the pre-test scores for all sub-dimensions and total scores of the experimental group and the control group (p>, 05), significant differences were observed in the post-test scores in favor of the experimental group (p <, 05).
