Romantic relationship dissolution on social networking sites
Social media users post an endless stream of life updates, commentary, and other content. This online self-presentation constitutes a narrative that can be examined as a shared account.

Real-time attentional and emotional responses to this dynamic stream during the Psa viewing process are indicated by psychophysiological measures. Dynamic models are used to systematically examine endogenous and exogenous influences on message processing to more accurately underst…
