Situated within the Advertising and Media Psychology (AdMe) Research Group at the Department of Communication of the University of Vienna, the European Research Council-funded project "Digital Hate: Perpetrators, Audiences, and (Dis)Empowered Targets" (DIGIHATE) delves into reasons, perceptions, and consequences of hateful online actions across several involved actors. Given the complex field of study, the project understands itself as multi-disciplinary (by involving, e.g., communication science, psychology, computational social science), multi-methodological (by combining, e.g., quantitative, qualitative, and computational paradigms), and multi-contextual (e.g., by addressing digital hate across four countries: Austria, France, Hungary, and Sweden). In this way, DIGIHATE aims not only to exceed the current state-of-the-art in a significant manner. Its findings will also contribute to building and maintaining dignified societies in the digital world.
