In this talk, I will discuss how posts are read and shared on social media, in particular four aspects that have been found related to readership and sharing on social media. And they are fast and slow thinking modes, emotional infusion in posts, self-image management and social connection retainment over social media. I will bring datasets collected from Facebook Pages and walk the participants through the metrics and analyses.

  • expectedOutcome Social media have become important platforms for individuals and organizations to raise their voices and increase their civic impact among the public. As large as social media audiences are, however, little has been taught or learned about how to obtain these goals in a systematic way. That’s why I’m eager to share my research about social media and their users, so that we can share knowledge more effectively through these platforms.
