Abstract:

Those disseminations will often cause the group emotional effects, and have important impacts on social psychology and behaviors. According to the level of the user's influence and the dynamic changes of the group emotions on social networks, an intuitive emotional map may be produced and therefore brings great convenience for emergency management. Based on the analysis of emotion propagation's mechanism on social networks, this paper researches the emotional mapping computation and analysis method of those networks, through the calculation of their member's relationships, group emotional index, as well as the influence of users, and expounds the application in social sentiment analysis of emergency events.

Key words: emergency event, social networks, emotional propagation, emotional mapping, computation and analysis
