Description
Emotions, Technology, and Social Media discusses the ways the social media sphere uses emotion and technology, and how each of these has become part of the digital culture. The book explores this expression within a psychological theoretical framework, addressing feelings about social media, and its role in education and knowledge generation. The second section investigates the expression of feelings within social media spaces, while subsequent sections adopt a paradigm of active audience consumption to use social media to express feelings and maintain social connectivity.
Essential reading for anyone interested in exploring human emotions and behaviors in response to digital technology, using the social media realm as a laboratory to investigate the psychology behind the expression of feelings and emotions in online culture
