Abstract

Approximately 64% of adolescents reported experiencing cyberhate on social media platforms (Common Sense, 2018). Ethnic-racial minoritized adolescents who experience cyberhate (online racial discrimination) face increased risk of maladaptive psychosocial adjustment. This study examined high school students’ cyberhate experiences in relation to their ethnic-racial identity perceptions, school connectedness, and life satisfaction.
