鈥淲hy do emotions spread quickly through social networks? Mechanisms that underlie the 'viral' spread of emotional content鈥�

Sharing information that evokes emotions in others is an important part of human life. Recently, the rise of online environments has made this behaviour even more pervasive, facilitating the extremely rapid -- or 鈥榲iral鈥� -- spread of content through social networks. This project combines behavioural, neuroimaging, and field data to better understand the mechanisms that drive emotional content sharing, and how individual decisions accumulate into the spread of emotions throughout a population. To do so, Prof. Dor茅 will clarify empirical connections between content features, social motivations, and market-level behavioural outcomes. In Objectives 1 and 2, he examines processes underlying sharing of news stories and brand messages that evoke positive emotions (e.g., joy, hope) and negative emotions (e.g., anxiety, outrage). In Objective 3, he assesses the efficacy of experimental manipulations that engage these processes. Overall, Prof. Dor茅 hopes to generate theoretical and practical advances relevant to fields and industries concerned with the social and economic consequences of online communications.
