Abstract :Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the effect of psychodrama on emotional awareness and psychological well- being of university students. Material and Methods: The study was a pretest, posttest intervention study with a control group. The study group included a total of 38 university students, 18 experimental students and 20 control group students. The researchers performed an eleven-session psychodrama group activity on the experimental group. However, they did not intervene in the control group. The researchers collected the data by distributing data collection tools (Information Form, the Emotional Self- Awareness Scale and the Psychological Well Being Scale) to the students before and after the psychodrama study. Results: The study found that the psychodrama group activity had a great impact on the psychological well being and emotional self-awareness level of the experimental group students (p<0.001). The interaction effect was significant for the total scores of the scales (p<0.05). In the experimental group, it was observed that there was an increase in the scores against time in both scales. The effect size of this change is large (η2=0.267, η2=0.528). Conclusion: After the psychodrama group, it was observed that there was an increase in the psychological well-being and emotional awareness skills of the participants.
