What makes you stop scrolling through an article, open up a social media app and hit the share button?
Is it logic, emotion, or something else?
Turns out, there’s more to social sharing than just measuring metrics: Psychology.
The strange nature of our brains is the reason we hotly debate the color of a dress or why we freely and emotionally share a post by a grieving widow after the death of her husband or why we feel an urgent need to pass on that video of the ice-cream eating dog to our animal-loving father-in-law. (Guilty!)
It’s not logic that guides those shares; it’s emotion. How else can you explain 8.2 million hits to a YouTube music video that a majority of people claim to have not liked?
