Networked Emotions

Networked Emotions refer to how feelings and moods spread through connected groups, such as social networks or communities. When one person experiences an emotion—like joy, anger, or anxiety—it can influence their connections, causing similar feelings to propagate among others. This process highlights that emotions are not isolated but shared and amplified through interactions, shaping collective attitudes and behaviors. Understanding this helps explain how sentiment can quickly shift in groups, impacting public opinion, consumer behavior, or social movements through interconnected emotional exchanges.
