作者:

Highlights:

• Four indicators about topical and sentiment propagation are proposed.

• The diversity of microblogging emotions varies inversely with the number of microblog entries across different stages.

• About 61.4 % of the retweets that disseminated the same topic(s) as the original posts brought the same emotion(s).

• The stakeholder types with high topical influence usually have low sentiment influence and vice versa.

• The stakeholder types with high topical/sentiment influence spread information to those with low influence.
