研究发现,新闻视频中道德愤怒情绪显著提升用户参与度。

Moral Outrage Shapes Commitments Beyond Attention: Multimodal Moral Emotions on YouTube in Korea and the US

  • 用多模态模型分析标题和缩略图中的道德情绪
  • 道德指责类内容使观看、点赞、评论量普遍上升
  • 适合关注媒体影响与社会极化的研究者参考

理解媒体修辞如何塑造受众参与在注意力经济中至关重要。本研究考察韩国与美国主流新闻频道在YouTube上采用的道德情绪框架对用户行为的影响。为捕捉平台的多模态特性,结合缩略图与视频标题,我们通过微调视觉语言模型构建多模态道德情绪分类器。该模型在双语人工标注数据集上训练,并应用于约40万条来自主要新闻机构的视频。分析涵盖观看量、点赞数和评论数,代表不同程度的参与承诺。结果表明,针对他人进行道德谴责的表达形式(即道德愤怒)在跨文化背景下均显著提升各类参与度,从被动观看至主动评论均有增强,效应范围广泛。这表明道德愤怒是一种极具效力的情绪策略,不仅能吸引注意,更能激发主动参与。我们讨论此类修辞可能被滥用的风险,因其或加剧群体对立与社会分裂。为促进未来研究并确保可复现性,我们公开发布韩语与英语的多模态道德情绪分类器。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Understanding how media rhetoric shapes audience engagement is crucial in the attention economy. This study examines how moral emotional framing by mainstream news channels on YouTube influences user behavior across Korea and the United States. To capture the platform's multimodal nature, combining thumbnail images and video titles, we develop a multimodal moral emotion classifier by fine tuning a vision language model. The model is trained on human annotated multimodal datasets in both languages and applied to approximately 400,000 videos from major news outlets. We analyze engagement levels including views, likes, and comments, representing increasing degrees of commitment. The results show that other condemning rhetoric expressions of moral outrage that criticize others morally consistently increase all forms of engagement across cultures, with effects ranging from passive viewing to active commenting. These findings suggest that moral outrage is a particularly effective emotional strategy, attracting not only attention but also active participation. We discuss concerns about the potential misuse of other condemning rhetoric, as such practices may deepen polarization by reinforcing in group and out group divisions. To facilitate future research and ensure reproducibility, we publicly release our Korean and English multimodal moral emotion classifiers.
