Video bloggers and viewers share emotions: Study
We mirror the emotions of those we see online and seek out people who share our emotions, according to a study that examined over 2000 video blogs, or vlogs on YouTube.
Being affected by others' emotions is known as "contagion," said researchers from Tilburg University in the Netherlands.
People also seek out others like themselves, or in this case, people with similar outlooks and moods, known as "homophily."
