Abstract
There is emotional contagion in virtual space, and the process of emotional contagion is also affected by emotional recurrence. However, the existing emotional contagion model does not consider the impact of individual emotional recurrence on emotional contagion in the virtual space. Therefore, the emotional contagion process cannot be simulated. The paper proposes a method of recurrent emotional contagion in virtual space. First, we construct an individual emotional recurrence contagion model based on SIRS (Susceptible-Infected-Recovered-Susceptible), we propose emotional recurrence contagion rules, and consider the impact of emotional recurrence in the virtual space on the emotional contagion process; secondly, we construct a virtual space emotional recurrence contagion model (REC) and solve it to simulate the process of emotional recurrence contagion. Third, we build a WS small-world network based on REC simulation. Provide REC (Recurrent emotional contagion model) simulation process in WS small-world network to verify the rationality of the REC. Finally, the REC is simulated to show the simulation effect of emotional recurrence contagion.
