Abstract

Performing observational studies based on social network content has recently gained attraction where the impact of various types of interruptions has been studied on users’ behavior. There has been recent work that have focused on how online social network behavior and activity can impact users’ offline behavior. In this paper, we study the inverse where we focus on whether users’ offline behavior captured through their check-ins at different venues on Foursquare can impact users’ online emotion expression as depicted in their tweets. We show that users’ offline activity can impact users’ online emotions; however, the type of activity determines the extent to which a user’s emotions will be impacted.
