Incels: Lonely, Rejected, and Struggling with Mental Health

Incels experience high rates of depression, anxiety, loneliness, and rejection sensitivity, and struggle with dating and forming relationships. They often cope using both healthy and unhealthy mechanisms, and may seek support in online communities where violent and misogynistic content may be present. More research, using a variety of methodologies, is needed to better understand this group and address their needs.

While the study reviews theories of aggression and violence, it does not provide a definitive explanation for why some incels engage in violence.
