Abstract

Focusing on the individual level, this study selects text data from individuals on the Weibo platform since the release of ChatGPT 4.0 as the research sample. It employs the Gephi network analysis tool and sentiment analysis methods, aiming to explore individuals’ kansei cognition of ChatGPT and their emotional responses. Drawing from the perspective of imprinting theory, this research illustrates how individuals’ kansei cognition of ChatGPT is shaped through a combination of four dimensions: ethics, R&D, consciousness, and production. It further analyzes how this perception influences individuals’ emotional responses. Additionally, this study refines the binary classification of emotional responses (i.e., positive and negative emotions) found in existing literature, introducing a subdivision of neutral emotions into positive and negative nuances based on the reinforcement and modulation of kansei cognition. Through this classification, the study enhances existing theories of affective response and offers new theoretical insights.
