ResearchResearch interests
My primary line of research encompasses adolescent social development, peer relations and bullying. In particular, I am interested in identity-based bullying with a focus on the individual (e.g., moral emotions) and contextual variables (e.g., school climate) that sustain bullying and passive bystander behaviour. I am also interested in adolescents’ online experiences and the impact of social media usage on young people’s mental health and wellbeing.
My other line of research focuses on workplace bullying, employee silence, and emotional labour among employees who endure and witness bullying at work.
