B3100 - Peer victimisation during adolescence and its impact on wellbeing in early adulthood - 31/05/2018
Understanding mental illness is a pressing area of research with the ultimate aim of helping individuals to remain mentally healthy across the life course. This study aims to explore factors that influence mental health and wellbeing by considering the role of bullying. Bullying by peers sometimes leads to later mental health problems. Our study will consider how bullying during adolescence can affect an individualâs mental health and wellbeing during adulthood. Wellbeing is a concept that encompasses positive states like happiness, optimism and life satisfaction. Helping to understand how wellbeing is affected by bullying will improve our understanding of how individuals can still flourish despite negative experiences.
