Virality,\nin our view, is a phenomenon with many facets, i.e. under this generic term\nseveral different effects of persuasive communication are comprised. By\nexploiting a high-coverage and bilingual corpus of documents containing metrics\nof their spread on social networks as well as a massive affective annotation\nprovided by readers, we present a thorough analysis of the interplay between\nevoked emotions and viral facets. We highlight and discuss our findings in\nlight of a cross-lingual approach: while we discover differences in evoked\nemotions and corresponding viral effects, we provide preliminary evidence of a\ngeneralized explanatory model rooted in the deep structure of emotions: the\nValence-Arousal-Dominance (VAD) circumplex. We find that viral facets appear to\nbe consistently affected by particular VAD configurations, and these\nconfigurations indicate a clear connection with distinct phenomena underlying\npersuasive communication.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1503.04723v1","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1503.04723v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"deep-feelings-a-massive-cross-lingual-study","repo_url":"https://github.com/sainisatish/News_virality","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"articles","task_name":"Articles"},{"task_slug":null,"task_name":"Relation"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
