📰Published: Conversation can change minds. @Mark Pogson and @Tom Nicholls of @CommediaLivUni model this with simple opinions. Diversity can make public opinion more extreme. Minority influence can be significant. They show how social media activity may interact with breaking news.

New article at CCR: @thieled.bsky.social leverages word-embedding representations of dictionaries and machine translation to investigate user-generated populism in comments during COVID-19 in 7 European countries, finding varying effects of restrictive policies. Read it here: doi.org/10.5117/CCR2...

📣New article @ CCR! L. de Bruyne,
@tonivdmeer.bsky.social , O. De Clercq and V. Hoste leverage machine learning models to analyze emotions in Dutch crisis-related tweets and introduces a framework for monitoring emotional climates on social media during crises. Link: doi.org/10.5117/CCR2...

Thank-you for the correct handles, Jakob-Moritz! Old habits are hard to shake. 🔵☁️

New Paper! @jana_bhard and @boomgaardenhg investigate the role of validation methods in topic model selection, showing how different approaches can influence the chosen model, impacting study results, and thus also theory development. Available here: doi.org/10.5117/CCR2...
