“…In a provocative study, researchers found that capitalization may be associated with varied motivations to consume alcohol, depending on whom individuals are capitalizing with (Mohr, Arpin, McCabe, & Haverly, ). More specifically, un‐partnered individuals paired with relatively unresponsive (vs. responsive) responders tended to consume greater amounts of alcohol to prolong positive emotional experiences and to engage positively with others (path A').…”

When good things happen, individuals will often retell this good news to others, a process termed capitalization. In so doing, individuals sharing their good news (i.e., capitalizers)boost their mood and relationships with the person(s) to whom they retell their news (i.e., responders). Most extant research has focused on the benefits for the capitalizers.Capitalization, however, is a social process that affects both capitalizers and responders, and research has only begun to explore the benefits of capitalization for responders. In this article, we provide a fresh perspective on the state of this literature by proposing the interpersonal model of capitalization (InterCAP). We illustrate how InterCAP (a) integrates and organizes existing research and theory, (b) formally emphasizes the interpersonal and iterative nature of the capitalization process, and (c) identifies gaps in current knowledge. We conclude by offering recommendations for integrating InterCAP with other theoretical models and suggestions for future research.

“…For example, positive feedback reinforces moral outrage on social media, and, when combined with feedback-sensitive design algorithms, may distort social and political discourse in these public spaces (Brady et al, 2021). In vulnerable populations, such as adolescents, social media use and positive feedback may normalize and promote risky behaviors such as alcohol or cigarette use (Hendriks et al, 2018; Mohr et al, 2016; Sherman et al, 2016). Additionally, people with depression, social anxiety, low self-esteem, and certain attachment styles have all shown aberrant behavioral and psychological outcomes related to social sharing, feedback, and social media use (Blackwell et al, 2017; Forest & Wood, 2012; Kashdan et al, 2013; Sanchez et al, 2017; Shallcross et al, 2011; Smith & Reis, 2012).…”

Positive social sharing is an interpersonal emotion regulation strategy that enhances positive affect and social belonging, particularly when met with positive social feedback. Despite the ubiquity of positive social sharing both in person and online, what drives this behavior is not well understood. We hypothesized that positive social feedback serves as a reward that reinforces sharing behavior and strengthens social bonds. Participants made trial-by-trial choices about whether to share social media photos with peers who returned positive (“likes”) or negative (“dislikes”) feedback. Unbeknownst to participants, peer conditions were manipulated to yield varying amounts of positive and negative feedback. Social bonding was subsequently measured using a trust game and subjective closeness ratings. Participants shared more with peers who provided greater rates of positive feedback. This effect generalized to trust decisions and subjective feelings of closeness and varied individually as a function of interpersonal emotion regulation in daily life.
