This study contributes to the existing literature on online harassment by investigating its combined impacts on users across genders, examining psychological, physiological, and economic consequences. A distinctive focus is placed on social media influencers, exploring the economic repercussions of online harassment within this specific group. The research involved soliciting participation from social media influencers and users (N=708) through a self-administered survey.The survey measured the experience of harassment behaviors and assessed psychological, physiological, and economic impacts. Results indicate a significant association between higher levels of harassment and increased combined impacts, emphasizing that the cumulative effect is more substantial than the impact of any singular type of harm. Notably, gender did not appear to influence the likelihood of experiencing these combined impacts.
