Keyword: Personality Traits

Abstract: This proposed survey-based research project aims to explore how ideological extremism and online hostility may be linked to complex trauma. We hypothesize that those with higher nationalist attitudes will also endorse complex trauma symptoms, and extreme nationalist attitudes and trauma will jointly predict greater online disinhibition and trolling enjoyment.
