Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Perceived Empathic Self-Efficacy and Social Self-Efficacy Scale
The scale was developed by Di Giunta et al. (2010), and the Turkish validity and reliability study was conducted by Akın and Başören. The scale comprises 11 items and two dimensions, with respondents invited to indicate their level of agreement on a five-point Likert scale, where 1 represents a complete disagreement and 5 represents complete agreement. The items are distributed according to the two subscales, namely perceived empathic self-efficacy (items 1-6) and perceived social self-efficacy (items 7-11). A high score on the first sub-dimension of the scale, empathic self-efficacy, indicates that the individual perceives themselves as capable of responding empathically to the needs and feelings of others. A high score on the second sub-dimension, social self-efficacy, indicates that the individual perceives themselves as capable of initiating and managing interpersonal relationships.

Youth Leadership Traits scale
The 'Youth Leadership Characteristics Scale' developed by Cansoy and Turan in 2016 in 5-point Likert form consists of 40 items and seven sub-dimensions. The sub-dimensions are; willingness to struggle and goal setting (7 items), ability to communicate (7 items), group skills (7 items), decision making skills (4 items), problem solving skills (4 items), responsibility (5 items), self-confidence (6 items). In Cansoy and Turan's (2016) study, the Cronbach's Alpha value of the scale was found to be 0.92. According to the frequency of the behaviour shown, the youth leadership traits scale is planned as Always '5 points', Frequently '4 points', Occasionally '3 points', Very rarely '2 points', Never '1 point'. The increase in the score indicates that the approach is positive.
