While prior research suggests that facial expression influences consumer behavior, it remains unclear under which conditions specific emotional expressions on social media drive sales performance and customer engagement. Drawing the feedback hypothesis congruence framework, two pre-registered experimental studies (N = 995) demonstrate fit between (broad vs. slight smile) endorsement type (hedonic utilitarian) influence engagement consumers' purchase intents. Findings indicate broad (vs. slight) smiles are more likely to enhance responses when paired with hedonic endorsements driven by contagion. Conversely, equally suited for both types of do not foster The findings offer actionable insights maximizing intents within marketing efforts.

Can robots elicit empathy? The effects of social robots’ appearance on emotional contagion

Computers in Human Behavior Artificial Humans, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 2(1), P. 100049 - 100049

Published: Jan. 1, 2024

The increasing integration of robots as service providers or companions in daily life has prompted extensive research on the emotional aspects human-robot interaction (HRI). Emotional contagion, a crucial factor influencing user experience HRI, gained considerable attention. However, limited explores influence anthropomorphism and gender differences robot modeling contagion leaving gap reference guidance for social design application. To address this, we investigate interactions scenarios, analyzing impact appearance, anthropomorphism, transmission positive negative emotions. experimental findings highlight significant role while revealing effect between contagion. This interdisciplinary study provides empirical evidence that enriches HRI contributes to more informed experiences.

Optimism and pessimism analysis using deep learning on COVID-19 related twitter conversations

Information Processing & Management, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 59(3), P. 102918 - 102918

This paper proposes a new deep learning approach to better understand how optimistic and pessimistic feelings are conveyed in Twitter conversations about COVID-19. A pre-trained transformer embedding is used extract the semantic features several network architectures compared. Model performance evaluated on two new, publicly available corpora of crisis-related posts. The best performing pessimism optimism detection models based bidirectional long- short-term memory networks. Experimental results four periods COVID-19 pandemic show proposed can model context health crisis. There total 150,503 tweets 51,319 unique users. Conversations characterised terms emotional signals shifts unravel empathy support mechanisms. with stronger denoted little shift (i.e. 62.21% these experienced almost no change emotion). In turn, only 10.42% laying more side maintained mood. User volatility further linked social influence.

Rapid facial mimicry in Platyrrhini: Play face replication in spider monkeys (Ateles fusciceps, Ateles hybridus, and Ateles paniscus)

American Journal of Primatology, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 86(5)

Abstract Rapid facial mimicry (RFM), the rapid and automatic replication of expression perceived, is considered a basic form empathy was investigated mainly during play. RFM occurs in Catarrhini (Old World primates), but it not still demonstrated Platyrrhini (New primates). For this reason, we collected video data on playful interactions ( N play_interactions = 149) three species spider monkeys Ateles fusciceps — 11, hybridus 14, paniscus 6) housed at La Vallée des Singes ZooParc de Beauval (France). first time, occurrence (analyzing 175 events). Players' sex, age, species, relationship quality, kinship did modulate probably due to species' complex fission–fusion dynamics flexible interindividual social relationships. Compared absence any expressions or presence only replicated play face, prolonged session duration sequentially associated with more types intense offensive patterns (patterns aimed attacking/pursuing playmate). We proposed that may favor synchronization context sharing between players, thus decreasing risk behavior misinterpretation while simultaneously fostering competitive nature In conclusion, study stimulates additional research evolutionary origins motor primates, possibly dating back before divergence New Old monkeys. Furthermore, also points toward possibility always lead cooperation competition, depending cognitive features.

The effectiveness of peer support in improving mental health and well-being has been well documented for vulnerable populations. However, how is delivered to migrant domestic workers (MDWs) their still unknown. This scoping review aimed synthesize evidence on existing services among MDWs. We systematically searched eight electronic databases, as grey literature. Two reviewers independently performed title/abstract full-text screening, data extraction. Twelve articles were finally included. types identified from the included studies, i.e., mutual aid para-professional trained support. MDWs mainly seek peers through emotional comfort. study's findings suggest that training program was highly feasible culturally appropriate several barriers affect successful implementation support, such concerns about emotion contagion peers, worries disclosure personal information, lack professionals. Culture-specific programs should be developed future overcome these promote more effective practices.
