The Language That Drives Engagement: a Systematic Large-Scale Analysis of Headline Experiments.
Using a large-scale dataset of field experiments conducted on Upworthy.com to investigate which informational, cognitive, linguistic, and affective factors in messages motivate people to engage with online content. We map textual features to theory-driven constructs and identify the factors that increase engagement, many of which are inconsistent with prior findings.
