The Public Heart: the Effect of Broadcasting on Emotional Intensity and Well-Being

The current research examines how sharing positive emotions about brands online impacts the subsequent intensity of those emotions. Specifically, we demonstrate that sharing a brand-related emotion broadly on Facebook lowers the intensity of that emotion. Follow-up studies will manipulate broad versus narrow sharing in other online contexts.
