The Appeal Of Emotion And Negativity - Deepstash

The Appeal Of Emotion And Negativity

  • People want to take a constant dose of the emotion they are feeling (anger, despair, anxiety) as a way to program their coping mechanism, as being in a high-alert position is useful in times of danger.
  • Others are drawn towards the negativity, as they endlessly browse through the comment section where verbal brawls are common.
  • Due to heightened emotions, people scroll way past their need for valuable information, getting inside a negative spiral of stories and images that stimulate and expand on their mental state.
