However, the consumption of information in social networks could affect people's emotions. The objective of this research was to explore the emotional contagion on Facebook in the face of a contingency. Whit an essentially qualitative approach, 701 publications related to the topic of COVID-19 and 1872 comments generated from those publications were analyzed. It was found that: A) in order to inform and entertain, people prefer to communicate through images on weekdays; B) emotional contagion occurs on Facebook, but not in the same proportion in all participants. This highlights the importance of being aware that the information we share can impact the emotions of others.

Sin embargo, el consumo de información proveniente de las redes sociales podría incidir en las emociones de las personas. El objetivo de esta investigación fue explorar el contagio emocional en Facebook ante una contingencia. Con un enfoque esencialmente cualitativo, se analizaron 701 publicaciones relacionados con el tema de COVID-19 y los 1872 comentarios generados a partir de dichas publicaciones. Se encontró que: A) con el fin de informar y entretener, las personas prefieren comunicarse a través de imágenes en días hábiles; B) el contagio emocional se da en Facebook, pero no en la misma proporción en todos los participantes. Esto resalta la importancia de ser conscientes de que la información que compartimos puede impactar en las emociones de otros.A estratégia de confinamento, em resposta à contingência do COVID-19, causou um aumento no uso da tecnologia para dar seguimiento às atividades diárias. Entretanto, o consumo de informação nas redes sociais poderia afetar o estado emocional das pessoas. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi explorar o contágio emocional no Facebook diante de uma contingência. Com uma abordagem essencialemnte qualitativa, foram analisadas 701 publicações relacionadas ao tema da COVID-19, emitidas por quatro participantes, e 1872 comentários gerados a partir dessas publicações foram analisados também. Descobriu-se que: A) para informar e entreter, as pessoas preferem se comunicar através de imagens nos dias úteis; B) o contágio emocional ocorre no Facebook, mas não na mesma proporção em todos os participantes. Isso destaca a importância de estarmos conscientes de que as informações que compartilhamos podem impactar as emoções dos outros.Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais2021-04-07info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/textolivre/article/view/2908010.35699/1983-3652.2021.29080Texto Livre; Vol. 14 No. 1 (2021): Texto Livre: Linguagem e Tecnologia; e29080Texto Livre; Vol. 14 Núm. 1 (2021): Texto Livre: Linguagem e Tecnologia; e29080Texto Livre; Vol. 14 No 1 (2021): Texto Livre: Linguagem e Tecnologia; e29080Texto Livre; v. 14 n. 1 (2021): Texto Livre: Linguagem e Tecnologia; e290801983-3652reponame:Texto livreinstname:Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)instacron:UFMGspahttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/textolivre/article/view/29080/26382Copyright (c) 2020 Texto Livre: Linguagem e Tecnologiahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPasquel-López, CynthiaValerio-Ureña, Gabriel2022-04-12T22:59:04Zoai:periodicos.ufmg.br:article/29080Revistahttp://www.periodicos.letras.ufmg.br/index.php/textolivrePUBhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/textolivre/oairevistatextolivre@letras.ufmg.br1983-36521983-3652opendoar:2022-04-12T22:59:04Texto livre - Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)false
