In her poster presentation (titled “Does online peer victimization make teen victims even more sick and unhappy?”), Dr. Sumter presented new findings on the consequences of cyberbullying for teenagers today, including physical symptoms. This work is co-authored by CcaM researchers Dr. Susanne Baumgartner and Professor Patti Valkenburg.
