Breaking up in the digital age

05 April 2017

This study is looking at problematic / abusive online behaviours by ex-partners occurring after relationship breakups. We are interested in individual experiences of such events and how they are talked about. Thus we would like to interview you but will keep your name and identifying information confidential. This study aims to allow for a better understanding of how the digital age may be influencing behaviours and/or the experience of such behaviours following relationship breakups.
