The Public Heart: the Impact of Sharing Emotions on Social Media
This research demonstrates that posting brand-related emotions online (e.g., I love Starbucks) changes the intensity of these emotions, depending on the size of the audience. Specifically, posting to larger audiences decreases (increases) emotional intensity for those low (high) in public self-consciousness. Closeness with the audience mediates these results.
