About This Project

Every day we see people on Facebook, Twitter, and news comments expressing outrage about organizations and leaders. But how are these expressions actually influencing the behavior of other members of the public? We are running experiments to test whether (and when) social media can cause a group's behavior to be more extreme and erratic.
