Movies have the ability to trigger our emotions and affect us in powerful ways. But the impact is not the same among all the audience and, according to our results, also not between women and men. In this study, we used an electroencephalogram (EEG) to register the brain activity of a group of 30 students while they watched a violent scene. The results showed that both male and female groups activated the left temporal lobe. However, the female group also activated the left insula and orbitofrontal areas of both hemispheres. The results of Hotelling’s T-squared distribution also showed significant differences in occipital areas of the brain in favour of women. Thus, our findings evidence that the violent scene activated emotional areas in both male and female groups, but in women there was also an activation of brain areas related to shape and colour recognition and to cognitive processes.
电影能够触发我们的情感，对我们产生强烈的影响。但是，所有观众受到的影响并不相同，根据我们的研究结果，男女观众受到的影响也不尽相同。在这项研究中，我们使用脑电图（EEG）记录了一组 30 名学生在观看暴力场面时的大脑活动。结果显示，男性组和女性组都激活了左颞叶。然而，女性组还激活了左侧岛叶和两半球的眶额区。霍特林 T 平方分布的结果也显示，大脑枕叶区域的显著差异有利于女性。因此，我们的研究结果证明，暴力场景激活了男性和女性组的情绪区域，但女性组也激活了与形状和颜色识别以及认知过程有关的大脑区域。

The study explores the selfie-taking behavioural pattern and the relationship between selfitis (obsessive–compulsive desire to take selfies and post them on social media) and narcissism. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among young Indian social media users aged between 18 and 30 years selected through referral sampling technique. The Selfitis Behaviour Scale was used to measure the level of selfitis, and the NPI-16 scale to measure narcissism. The study observed that taking selfies and posting them on social media is common among young social media users. Narcissism was found to be strongly correlated with selfitis and its six dimensions, indicating that people who exhibit narcissistic qualities are more likely to engage in excessive selfie behaviour. As SBS is a newly developed and not widely used scale, the study also assessed the validity and reliability of the scale. The results showed that the scale has excellent internal consistency and satisfactory convergent validity, and discriminant validity.

We did an exploratory investigation of the transmission of language memes using the meme concept. Using 62 Chinese language memes as an example, we mined the emotions of netizens’ posts containing these languages on Weibo, a Chinese social platform and successfully demonstrated language memes’ potential for eliciting both positive and negative emotions. By comparing the features of emotional changes with the features of the four different language meme transmission processes (bursty, continuous expansion, continuous decline and steady) classified in this study, the results of correlation analysis objectively illustrate the existed connection between emotion and language meme transmission. Specifically, we discovered that the positive emotion ‘good’ and the negative emotion ‘disgust’ are the most obvious emotions elicited by language memes. Additionally, 79% of language memes’ transmission processes were correlated with emotions (positive or negative). And most language memes’ transmission process belongs to the bursty type, especially the latency → burst mode.

Informed by the Digital Coping Model, this article explores the use of social network sites among chronically ill patients and caregivers. In particular, it focuses on the use of Facebook (FB) groups among patients diagnosed with cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and their caregivers in the Philippines. Situated in a country with a high prevalence of CVD, it explores the communication technology affordances and digital coping activities of members belonging to a private FB group for CVD. Using in-depth interviews with members, this article found that digital coping engages with polymedia, that is, patients and caregivers use the private FB group together with other platforms. Members likewise engaged with praying as an emergent digital coping activity. Moreover, they characterised the private FB group as an epistemic community critical for creating, sharing and challenging CVD-related information. Taken together, the results extend the conversations about the ways patients and caregivers continue to repurpose communication and technology for managing their chronic illness in the larger backdrop of polymedia, limited access to healthcare, and the ongoing pandemic. Implications to moderators of health groups, healthcare professionals and health associations are discussed.

This article presents the results of content categorisation and measurement of the effects of YouTube videos released publicly by commercial entities during the pandemic. The videos in question contain inspirational content concerning prosocial behaviour in response to COVID-19 and are released through the big companies’ official YouTube accounts. In the first study, the authors analysed the content of videos from various companies. While the videos encompassed different presentations of actions taken and messages expressing optimism, those that conveyed empathetic communication and human values were predominantly featured. We categorised the findings into action-oriented, human values–oriented and empathic-oriented content for the selection of videos in the subsequent study. In the subsequent experimental study, aimed at understanding the effects, we asked participants to watch and evaluate the videos selected from the initial study. The results demonstrated that empathic-oriented content had the highest impact on individuals, leading to increases in five measures of inspiration: aspiring to become a better person, engaging in acts of kindness towards others, seeking what truly matters in life, striving to live a more fulfilling life and aligning personal goals.
