A Study on Gender and Racial Differences in Emotional Contagion In a world of discontinuous human contact, the vanishing art of conversation, and the increase of social media as a replacement for communication; it can be quite refreshing to smile at a passerby and receive a smile in return.
Their paradigm to study the social contagion effects on memory can be seen as a pioneer. In the experiment, Roediger et al. showed subjects six common scenes from daily life spots for a time; after the presentation, participant and a confederate engage in a collaborative recall activity where confederate reports some items falsely on purpose.
With respect to social contagion, there has been some evidence in online games, such as generosity (gifting in-game money) (26, 65), purchasing of in-game goods (22), and cheating such as bot.

Mechanisms for contagion of mental health. Most conceptual discussions of social contagion effects, 1 particularly in the economics literature, focus on behavioral outcomes such as crime or substance use. For example, Glaeser and Scheinkman (2001) emphasize mechanisms for contagion such as acquiring information, modifying preferences, and possibly modifying prices (e.g., decreasing the price.
CHAPTER 1: INFORMATION CONTAGION In social media, information spreads like a contagion from person to person. When many pieces of information are spreading and competing in the space of social media messages, their propagation rates become very unequal.
Social contagion theory suggests that human behaviors and traits can spread in social networks (13), assuming this is promoted by various behavioral mechanisms, such as imitation, role modelling.
