Resumen de Others' behaviour makes you a troll

Sally Adee

  • The Internet can be a vicious place. Anonymity online has often been blamed for the web's abundance of trolls, but an experiment using a fake website shows the behavior of others has the most influence. Leonie Rosner and Nicole Kramer at the University of Duisburg-Essen in Germany created a fake website for football fans, and planted a false news story stating that people would no longer be allowed to stand at matches. Rosner and Kramer found that people who were anonymous didn't necessarily use more aggressive language. Instead, they found that the tone set by other commenters was linked to the likelihood that a participant would use aggressive language to support their points. Theres already evidence that social cues influence one's online activity.
