Hello, my name is Moyu Liu (劉沫妤). I received my PhD from the Graduate School of Interdisciplinary Information Studies, the University of Tokyo, and I am currently a Research Associate at the Institute for Advanced Social Sciences, Waseda University.
My primary research interest focuses on emotion norms and emotional behaviors in cyberspace. Specifically, I explore:
1.Emotion norms on social media platforms across various online contexts, including digital chats and social media posts.
2.The emergence and formation of emotion norms from two theoretical perspectives: media affordances theory (media features) and observational learning theory (social interactions).
3.The impact of online emotion management on individuals’ psychological well-being.
Aside from my academic pursuits, I have experience working as an internet marketer. In my free time, I enjoy expressing my creativity through oil painting, jewelry design, and writing poetry.
