The Atlanta Spa shooting evoked the Stop Asian Hate movement in the US. This study examines what primary topics were covered in Twitter discourse in #StopAsianHate and which phases of collective symbolic coping emerged from the perspective of social representations theory. 21,474 tweets in #StopAsianHate on Twitter in the first weeks from May to August were analyzed by topic modeling using MDCOR.
