Default Are Players More Likely to \"Make Moves\" After You Suffer a Bad Beat?

As I try to learn no limit (mostly online NL50 right now), I'm trying to figure out the answer to this. Is this some form of tilt-induced paranoia, or are players really more prone to cold-call, squeeze, semi-bluff, and float someone who has just suffered a bad beat (about which I never complain)?

FWIW, I play a smallball style which likes to see a flop, with bet-fold and raise-fold lines in my arsenal. I almost never pot the flop and I've been known to check-call down with TPTK against an aggressive opponent. I have a pretty good rate of getting folds with my semi-bluffs because I cultivate a trappy, tricky tight-passive table image (hopefully), but I'm not sure how that image gets affected by taking a bad beat.
