Abstract |
We present and exactly solve a one-dimensional model for emotional online discussions basing on the Ising-like asymmetrical and evolving dynamics.We restrict ourselves only to interactions with last message’s emotions and study the dependence of the chain’s average motion <e> on external field h (community tendency toward a selected valence) and temperature T (uncertainty of the emotion). This leads us to an observation of three distinct phases - the first, where discussion evolution is determined by its beginning only, the second, in which the mostly observed emotion is coping the external influence, a finally, the third one, where the outcome is subject to fluctuations. The phases are separable with respect to the parameter that copies participant’s uncertainty about their emotional behaviour. |
