High-arousal emotions are a key element of viral
campaigns – but some emotions ignite prolific sharing,
while others repel attention.
We partnered with researchers at Vanderbilt University to
find out more about how emotions engage audiences with
online content. What we learned could be key to your next
marketing success.
In our study of more than 800 participants, we found that
images that inspired positive feelings earned more initial
views. The top three positive emotions include:
A m u s e m e n t
I n t e r e s t
S u r p r i s e
M o s t V i r a l E m o t i o n s
Negative emotions were less likely to appear in highly viral
images. The bottom three negative emotions include:
S h a m e
C o n t e m p t
G u i lt
L e a s t V i r a l E m o t i o n s
The key to viral is not simply highlighting positive emotions
and avoiding negative feelings.
Instead, the most-shared content offers complexity and
contrasting emotions.
E m o t i o n a l C o m p l e x i t y
LOL<3
OMG
WTF
YOLO
FAIL
ROFL
Our study shows that men, women, and different
generations experience different emotional reactions to
content.
