Research interests

Dr March’s research interests include interpersonal relationships, cyberpsychology and personality. In particular, Dr March is interested in how people behave online, and she has explored a range of online behaviours including cyberbullying, cyberstalking, online dating, trolling, and self-presentation.

Dr March’s work on the psychological profile of Internet ‘trolls’ was an Australian first study, and she has received both national and international recognition for her research on Cyber Abuse. Dr March is also currently involved in projects exploring individual differences and the propensity for online intimate partner violence, such as intimate partner cyberstalking and cyber dating abuse.

Dr March believes that understanding individual differences that predict engaging in online antisocial behaviours is imperative for development of effective interventions and prevention of cyber abuse.
