If You're A Happy Person, You're More Likely To Retweet Other Happy People

If you’re happy and you know it… tweet! A new study has been released that shows that mood affects how you tweet.

Researchers from the University of Indiana found that people who are happy tend to retweet others who are happy. And the angry Twitter users? They stick together too.

The research says that beyond demographic features – like age, sex and race – it’s psychological features that brings people on social networks together.

Words like “loneliness” can be associative, meaning that those who employ the word “loneliness” often tweet or retweet to others who also use that word.
