  text: Previous research suggests the existence of sentiments in online social networks.
    In comparison to real life human interaction, in which sentiments have been shown
    to have an influence on human behaviour, it is not yet completely understood which
    mechanisms explain how sentiments influence users in online environments. We develop
    a theoretical framework that tries to bridge the gap between social influence
    theories that focus on offline interactions on one hand and online interaction
    in social networks on the other hand. We then test our hypothesis about the influence
    and dissemination of sentiments in a quantitative analysis that is based on retrieved
    textual messages of communication patterns in over 12000 online social networks.
    Our empirical results suggest a general influence of sentiments on node communication
    patterns that is evidenced by increased occurrences of subsequent messages that
    express the same sentiment polarization. We interpret these findings and suggest
    future research to advance our currently limited theories that assume perceived
    and generalized social influence to path-dependent social influence models that
    consider actual behaviour.

  text: 'The new technological enhancements and the accessibility to varieties of
    online applications, enable users to collect personal data and perform self-evaluation
    through test, comparison and experimentation. The sparked interest in numbers
    and numbers as self-representative visualisations is prominent in social networking
    sites, which are the empirical setting for the present study. This paper sets
    out to establish a multi-theoretical framework which enables the investigation
    of emerging phenomena of the role of numbers in social networking sites. The proposed
    framework rests on three theoretical pillars: self-determination theory, heuristic
    decision making and behavioural economics. A discussion departs from these convictions
    to investigate user reactions and behaviour when faced with numerical representations
    in the SNS.'

  text: "The usage of social software to support collaboration and knowledge management
    in corporate intranets is a pervasive topic in practice and research. However,
    there remain many open research questions concerning its socio-technical system
    design. To address this gap and to contribute to a deeper understanding of the
    role and success of corporate social software, we first identify and conceptualize
    simplicity as an influential design principle and usage factor. We propose a theoretical
    framework that helps us to empirically study the role of simplicity based on six
    case vignettes of corporate social software implementation and use. From the theoretical
    basis and the empirical analysis we develop a series of theoretical propositions
    and discuss implications for IS design and adoption.\r\n"
