Hannah's research is focused on 'Online Social Exclusion in Adolescents: Understanding Group Dynamics, Identity, Fear of missing out (FoMO), Social Anxiety, and Psychological Consequences.' Hannah's research explores how adolescents experience and understand social exclusion in online environments. 

Drawing on Social Identity Theory and Developmental Subjective Group Dynamics, Hannah's project examines how group membership, identity processes, and difference-oriented communication shape young people's reactions to exclusion and its impact on social anxiety and future participation.
