The conference offered bachelor's students participating in the seminar the opportunity to present their research findings to an interested audience, discuss them, and receive valuable feedback. In an interactive poster exhibition, 23 students presented their posters, which impressively demonstrated the diversity and high standard of the bachelor's thesis projects.
A highlight of the event was the presentation of the poster award in three categories, determined by a criteria-based online vote by participants and guests. The award-winning posters highlight central aspects of bullying in the school context, including the role of emotion regulation in education, possible long-term psychosocial consequences, and social support and family diversity as important influencing and protective factors. In doing so, they provide valuable impulses for research and practice in educational psychology.
