I'm very excited about our new work which aims to model causes and effects on stories online! Narratives and stories are everywhere, so it's helpful to be able to understand how people use them in nuanced ways.
Reading social media stories evokes a wide range of contextual reader reactions—inferential, affective, evaluative—yet we lack methods to study these at scale.

Excited to share our new paper that builds a framework for analyzing storytelling practices across online communities!

“If we fail to act, we risk letting market forces, rather than public health, define how relational AI influences mental health and well-being at scale.”
