Emotions are an important element of human interactions, including those in social media. Despite the prominence of text-based messages in online communication, little is known about how the emotional tone of the messages affects the emotions of the recipients. With three experiments, the current study investigated these effects in the context of online news discussions. Participants first read news discussion threads with a negative, neutral, and positive tone, and then rated their subjective emotional state in terms of valence and arousal. Results showed that negatively toned discussions induced more negative valence and higher arousal ratings than the other conditions. Positive discussions had an opposite effect. Emotionally toned online comments evidently affect the quality and the intensity of the readers\u2019 subjective emotions. We discuss implications for future research and emotion mitigation strategies to improve online discussion quality. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1027\/1864-1105\/a000341","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,27]],"date-time":"2022-04-27T08:57:31Z","timestamp":1651049851000},"page":"55-61","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Emotionally Toned Online Discussions Evoke Subjectively Experienced \t\t\t\t\tEmotional Responses"],"prefix":"10.1027","volume":"35","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0909-5678","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Aleksi H.","family":"Syrj\u00e4m\u00e4ki","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Group for Emotions, Sociality, and \t\t\t\t\tComputing, Faculty of Information Technology and Communication Sciences, Tampere \t\t\t\t\tUniversity, Finland"}]},{"given":"Mirja","family":"Ilves","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Group for Emotions, Sociality, and \t\t\t\t\tComputing, Faculty of Information Technology and Communication Sciences, Tampere \t\t\t\t\tUniversity, Finland"}]},{"given":"Poika","family":"Isokoski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Group for Emotions, Sociality, and \t\t\t\t\tComputing, Faculty of Information Technology and Communication Sciences, Tampere \t\t\t\t\tUniversity, Finland"}]},{"given":"Joel","family":"Kiskola","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Technology and Social Interaction Research Group, \t\t\t\t\tFaculty of Information Technology and Communication Sciences, Tampere \t\t\t\t\tUniversity, Finland"}]},{"given":"Anna","family":"Rantasila","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Technology and Social Interaction Research Group, \t\t\t\t\tFaculty of Information Technology and Communication Sciences, Tampere \t\t\t\t\tUniversity, Finland"}]},{"given":"Thomas","family":"Olsson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Technology and Social Interaction Research Group, \t\t\t\t\tFaculty of Information Technology and Communication Sciences, Tampere \t\t\t\t\tUniversity, Finland"}]},{"given":"Gary","family":"Bente","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Communication, Michigan State \t\t\t\t\tUniversity, East Lansing, MI, USA"}]},{"given":"Veikko","family":"Surakka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Group for Emotions, Sociality, and \t\t\t\t\tComputing, Faculty of Information Technology and Communication Sciences, Tampere \t\t\t\t\tUniversity, Finland"}]}],"member":"101","reference":[{"key":"c1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jcc4.12009"},{"key":"c2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0005-7916(94)90063-9"},{"key":"c3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","unstructured":"Bradley, M.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tM. & \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tLang, P.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJ.
