Exploring Sentiment, Values, and Misinformation Surrounding Vaccination Legislation on Twitter: A Case Study of California’s Passage of SB277

ABSTRACT California remains among a handful of U.S. states with no clause for a personal belief exemption for required vaccines due to passage of SB277. As vaccines represent an important tool in the public health arsenal against SARS-CoV-2 and may yet be required by schools and employers, other states may consider enacting laws similar to SB277 to address COVID-19 and future outbreaks of infectious diseases. In this case study of California’s SB277 bill, we examine the sentiment, values, and misinformation shared on Twitter regarding this bill in the days leading up to, during, and after its successful enactment into law in 2015 using a sample of geocoded tweets (N = 1,000). Results of our content analysis of tweet sentiments before and after the law was signed offer evidence for significant differences in vaccine misinformation [χ 2 (1, N = 1,000) = 4.01, p = .045, Φ = .06], and individual values related to power [χ 2 (1, N = 1,000) = 71.57, p < .001, Φ = -.27] and achievement [χ 2 (1, N = 1,000) = 4.39, p = .036, Φ = .07]. Findings suggest that although most tweets did not contain misinformation, few provided scientific evidence to back claims. Implication for theory, research, and health policy and practice are discussed.

The methods included tweet analysis, word cloud, sentiment analysis and conjoint analysis. Findings The study reveals that Indian millennials’ wine consumption is driven by health and sustainability concerns, particularly the appeal of organic and low-alcohol options. However, wine, especially red wine, is also strongly associated with socializing, luxury and pleasure. This dual motivation highlights wine’s versatility in fulfilling both health-conscious and indulgent desires. Originality/value This study examines Indian wine consumers and their purchasing decisions using a multi-method approach. In addition, it compares gender preferences, addressing a gap in limited research on the Indian wine industry.

Do Financial Community’s Tweet Sentiments Affect the Stock Market? Evidence from an Emerging Economy

In the era of social media and internet, Twitter (presently ‘X’) has been recognized as the prominent factor for financial markets by multiple corporates and experts. The motivation of present research hinges on burgeoning popularity of Twitter in the financial community for sharing information and impact of their hidden sentiments on financial markets. Research on tweet-based sentiments and their influence on financial markets in India is still in the infancy stage. To cover this gap, the present study empirically investigates the predictive impact of financial tweet sentiments on the Indian stock Index’s returns over a short period. The paper scraped 22,816 tweets and Nifty 50 index’s intraday hour end values for January 2023. Using Natural Processing Technique, the overall sentiments of the financial community are found as highly positive for each trading hour. Next, it presents a low positive correlation between positive sentiments, sentiment polarity, and hourly returns. Lagged negative sentiments reflect the better ability to impact current period returns than positive sentiments and polarity. Additionally, sentiment polarity and returns reflect bi-directional causation for the future period impact. Investors, stock market traders, and other practitioners can employ the proven concept of linkage between tweet sentiments and returns for constructing effective investment and trading strategies.

Enhancement of The Performance of Machine Learning Algorithms to Rival Deep Learning Algorithms in Predicting Stock Prices.

This paper objectives to improve stock market prediction accuracy by training data on sentiment analysis of tweets, overcoming volatility and complexity. Utilizing the Use of natural language processing (NLP) algorithms, the tweet's sentiments were classified into (negative - neutral - and positive). The stock value price was predicted by implementing Machine learning algorithms (KNN, SVM, GBM, LR, DT, RF, EL). Among the techniques of ML, (GBM) achieved the greatest results in terms of accuracy (96%). Its results were compared with the results of a deep learning algorithm that uses the same data where GBM got better results, and other algorithms showed results (KNN = 55%, SVM=90%, LR=82%, DT=90%, RF=90%, EL = 88%). The results obtained were superior to previous studies.

AraTSum: Arabic Twitter Trend Summarization Using Topic Analysis and Extractive Algorithms

Twitter’s trending topics enable users to view the topics currently being discussed on the platform. Users can stay up to date with news, events, and conversations. However, the platform’s method of sorting tweets by time can make it hard to gather semantic information. To fully comprehend the various dimensions of trends and the diverse opinions surrounding them, users need to sift through a substantial number of results. Traditional techniques for content summarization, such as multi-document summarization, can facilitate information aggregation, categorization, and visualization of events, but there are two challenges. First, they fail to consider the topic’s polarity, which is essential to covering all aspects of the subject and incorporating less popular opinions. Second, some techniques only provide summaries at the topic level, potentially leaving out crucial dimensions that require representation in this summary. This research developed a novel summarization approach on Twitter which is known as ARAbic Trending SUMmarization (AraTSum). The proposed system generates the summary based on the extracted topics and aspects from the trend. The approach involves a topic sentiment-based technique that combines generative statistical Latent Dirichlet Allocation with a pre-trained model to automatically reflect the sentiments (negative or positive) of tweets in each topic; followed by extractive summarization algorithms in each cluster. The AraTSum was evaluated through several experiments on five different X datasets. The obtained results showed that AraTSum outperformed existing approaches on the ROUGE evaluation metric compared to state-of-the-art Twitter event summarizing algorithms. To ensure a comprehensive and accurate evaluation, three human experts were tasked with manually summarizing the utilized five datasets. The results demonstrated that the proposed AraTSum method is dependent on sentiment topical aspect analysis, and it enhances the summarization's performance.

Social sharing of emotion during the collective crisis of COVID-19.

We collected data from two sources - social media and online questionnaires - to investigate the emotional consequences of social sharing during the COVID-19 pandemic. Study 1 tracked and analysed sentiment of tweets posted over the course of a month in the crisis period and found that users who tweeted more frequently about COVID-19 expressed decreasing negative sentiment and increasing positive sentiment over time. Granger causality tests confirmed that this association was better interpreted in the forward direction (sharing levels predicting sentiment) than in the reverse direction (sentiment predicting sharing levels). Study 2 focused on immediate emotional consequences of sharing COVID-19-related events and found that participants reported improved overall affect about an event after sharing it, especially when that event was a personal experience rather than a news story. Reported positive feelings about both kinds of events were also significantly higher after sharing. Taken together, both studies suggested that social sharing is linked with emotional relief and may therefore help people to deal with their negative experiences during a persistent collective crisis.

Examining Implications of Search Query Construction on Sentiment Analysis: The Case of Brandwatch

Consistent with other fields, advertising research is currently facing a replication crisis, evoking methodological concerns regarding the reproducibility of research findings. To address this crisis, we systematically reviewed seven computational advertising studies that collected and analyzed the sentiment of tweets. Upon identifying five studies that reported replicable data collection processes, we utilized the original search queries to recollect tweets using a third-party platform, Brandwatch. We also replicated data collection using iterative complex Boolean (ICB) operators, which sought to enhance the resulting dataset precision. Then, we juxtaposed the effects of search query design (original vs. ICB) using sentiment analysis. Together, the findings suggest that how a query is written can affect measures of precision, engagement, sentiment, and recall. Tests of precision are recommended to mitigate the effects of variance in retrieval relevance.

Persistence of misinformation and hate speech over the years: The Manchester Arena bombing

In the aftermath of the 2017 Manchester Arena bombing, the ensuing debate in the press and on social media underscored terrorism's potential to intensify divisions. This study delves into the social media and press dynamics of rumors following the attack, and into the subsequent discourse on migration policies. We collected a dataset consisting of 3184 press articles and 89,148 tweets about the Manchester Arena bombing. This research aims to identify prevalent rumors, explore the short- and long-term impacts on user engagement, analyze the sentiment in tweets related to each rumor, and examine perceptions of terrorism threats and migration policies among both the press and X (previously Twitter) users. The study found that X acted as an echo chamber for misinformation, amplifying specific rumors related to the attack, while the press exhibited fact-checking practices and provided nuanced perspectives. Notably, one rumor suggesting the attacker was a refugee gained traction over the years, reflecting an increase in anti-immigrant sentiments. Emotional responses on X ranged from neutral to heightened distress and anger, highlighting the significant impact of social media narratives on public sentiment. The research underscores the polarization of views on social media, influenced by the condensed format of tweets and the rapid production cycle, with X users expressing predominantly very negative attitudes toward immigration. This study emphasizes the critical role of the media in dispelling misinformation and fostering nuanced public understanding in complex sociopolitical contexts.

Who shows more emotion when interacting with a company on social media? A study of political orientation and tweet sentiment

This study provides insights into how consumers interact with companies on social media. The study draws upon the theory of personality and political orientation to examine the relationship between consumers’ political orientation and the emotion used in their online interactions with companies. To provide additional understanding of this relationship, the study incorporates the political orientation of companies as a moderator. Leveraging Twitter (now known as ‘X’) as a research context, the study provides empirical evidence that more conservative consumers show less positive emotion when interacting with companies. The findings suggest that this relationship is weaker when the company involved has a more conservative (or less liberal) political orientation. Finally, the main effect follows a non-linear pattern that becomes stronger at an exponential rate among the most conservative consumers.

Enhancing online learning: sentiment analysis and collaborative filtering from Twitter social network for personalized recommendations

Online learning presents a major challenge for learners, namely the diversification of courses and information overload. In response to this issue, recommender systems are widely used. Nowadays, social networks have become a global platform where individuals share a multitude of information. For instance, Twitter is a social network where users exchange messages and interact with various communities. These interactions on social networks have created a new dimension in the field of online learning. In this article, we propose a novel approach that combines sentiment analysis of learners’ reviews on social networks with collaborative filtering methods to provide more personalized and relevant course recommendations. To achieve this, we explored different models to analyze the sentiments of tweets related to online courses. Additionally, we used collaborative filtering based on k-nearest neighbors (KNN). Our results demonstrate that integrating sentiment analysis provides more relevant recommendations. This has also been shown based on the calculation of root mean square error (RMSE) compared to a traditional approach. In this study, we demonstrated that by leveraging this information from social networks like Twitter, online learning platforms can enhance the effectiveness of their course recommendations, tailoring them to each individual learner’s needs.
