This study examines consumers' emotional responses to YouTube videos that exposed corporate social irresponsibility incidents. A total of 67,117 comments were collected and screened identify those mentioned the brand name. The analysis was divided into two distinct phases. In phase one, BART, a deep learning algorithm, used extract emotions expressed through in response exposure CSI second phase, this employed negative binomial regression analyzed conceptual model examine relationship between emotion supportive behavior by fellow consumers on YouTube. Results one suggested consumer consist positive toward brand, such as joy, trust, surprise, anticipation. 2 findings indicate anger, anticipation, sadness garner more support from other consumers, while disgust, joy are negatively associated with behavior. extends developing body literature taking novel context. Moreover, it also showed importance different discrete increasing consumers. Practically, provides directions promotion managers for managing media crises due CSI.

Life expectancy in ants explains variation in helpfulness regardless of phylogenetic relatedness

Abstract Rescue behavior aims to free a relative from danger. Ants are particularly known for such helpfulness and, perhaps not coincidentally, also show the highest level of social organization in animal kingdom, i.e., eusociality. However, even among species as ants, there is huge variation rescue proneness and little understood about underlying causes this variation. In study, we explore relationship between form life expectancy, focusing on 14 ant with diverse phylogenetic backgrounds. We posit that longer worker expectancies more prone engaging actions. To test this, assessed lifespan each conducted behavioral tests simulating entrapment scenarios involving nestmate ensnared by an artificial obstacle. Observed behaviors involved contact nestmate, digging around it, pulling at its body parts, biting entrapping Our findings reveal exhibit higher endangered nestmates, irrespective relatedness. Furthermore, found no trace signal or workers belonging different species. The results underscore significance expectancy key factor influencing likelihood ants. This phenomenon warrants further investigation, given varied physiologies, histories, ecologies observed Nevertheless, impact patterns insects suggests parameter likely significant across taxa.
