RESEARCH ON THE EXPRESSION OF PUBLIC EMOTION AND BEHAVIOR IN MICROBLOG PUBLIC OPINION

Abstract Background Compared with the public opinion in the era of traditional media, microblog public opinion shows different characteristics, among which the strong expression of public emotion and behavior is important and has practical impact. The important factor that microblog public opinion has a significant influence is that microblog directly reflects the public mood. Unlike traditional mass media, microblog is a direct point-to-point communication, and the influence comes from the nested microblog relationship. This exponential communication influence enables the public mood to spread to every corner of the world in a short time. In an article entitled “Public opinion formed by anger”, the author quoted the research results of Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics as saying that anger spreads faster on microblog than any emotion. The article also points out that microblogging has become the most convenient channel for Chinese people to participate in social discussion and express concern. The anger expressed in social contacts has promoted the dissemination of relevant news and accelerated the formation of public opinions and collective action. In fact, in many social fields in china, the trend of emotion in microblog has become an important aspect of public opinion prediction, even in crime prevention and economic development. Unfortunately, while people are keen to feel and use the emotional factors in microblog, they have not made a rational exploration of it. Based on the above background, this study intends to start from four aspects: First, why there are obvious emotional characteristics in microblog public opinion compared with traditional mass media; second, what kind of emotions exist in microblog public opinion and what is the relationship with the current social reality; third, how to express the emotions in microblog public opinion and how to present them; fourth, what are the social effects of emotional behavior in microblog public opinion and how to deal with the negative social effects. Subjects and Methods This paper takes psychological research as the main orientation, and pays attention to the public emotional factors in microblog public opinion.

Results The research found that with the continuous development of the internet, public emotional behavior will have an important impact on microblog public opinion. There are two directions: One is the top-down impact, the other is the bottom-up impact; it is mainly manifested in two typical ways: Social mobilization and emotional social struggle in microblog public opinion.

From the tendency of public sentiment, microblog public opinion shows criticism, populism, nationalism, pragmatism, patriotism and justice. The social expression of public sentiment in microblog public opinion includes the spiral phenomenon of silence, butterfly effect, herd effect, resentment and so on. From the perspective of psychology, the public emotions in microblog public opinion are expressed as fear, anxiety, anger and sadness, while in terms of expression, the public express their feelings through direct expression, folk language and other ways. Conclusion The social effects of negative emotions in microblog public opinion have their own paths and standards of research and judgment, and we need to deal with the social effects of negative emotions. In the process of response, we should follow the principles of first time, multi opinion space construction, affinity and self-centered, strengthen the construction of service-oriented government, establish a three-dimensional communication pattern, and establish monitoring, early warning and feedback mechanisms.
