Abstract
Given the frequency and importance of presence in social networks in such a way that these media have almost replaced traditional media, the importance of audience reaction can be considered. Today, every positive or negative event in virtual media is met with a reaction from individuals and users, and the magnitude and extent of this reaction has complicated the issues. Therefore, the present study is trying to present a model for predicting the reaction of virtual media audiences using artificial intelligence. Based on a qualitative approach based on in-depth interviews, the desired model was designed and then analyzed using the grounded theory approach. The presented model has 41 indicators based on open coding, 17 components based on axial coding, and 8 dimensions based on selective coding. Informational, emotional, and social factors are considered as causal conditions, individual and temporal factors as intervening factors, and political and economic factors as background factors that affect the outcomes, that is, communication factors. The validity and reliability of the model using the Holstey and Cohen's Kappa indices indicate a high and desirable level of model validity. In the following, artificial intelligence algorithms were used to test the presented model, and the results showed that the support vector machine algorithm is able to predict the audience's reaction in cyberspace with an accuracy of 92 percent.
