ABSTRACT The goal of this paper is to evaluate two methods for the topic modeling of multilingual document collections: (1) machine translation (MT), and (2) the coding of semantic concepts using a multilingual dictionary (MD) prior to topic modeling. We empirically assess the consequences of these approaches based on both a quantitative comparison of models and a qualitative validation of each method’s potentials and weaknesses. Our case study uses two text collections (of tweets and news articles) in three languages (English, Hebrew, Arabic), covering the ongoing local conflicts between Israeli authorities, settlers, and Palestinian Bedouins in the West Bank. We find that both methods produce a large share of equivalent topics, especially in the context of fairly homogenous news discourse, yet show limited but systematic differences when applied to highly heterogenous social media discourse. While the MD model delivers a more nuanced picture of conflict-related topics, it misses several more peripheral topics, especially those unrelated to the dictionary’s focus, which are picked up by the MT model. Our study is a first step toward instrument validation, indicating that both methods yield valid, comparable results, while method-specific differences remain.

ABSTRACT This paper responds to the challenge of testing the reliabilities of really big data and proposes a quadrilogy of four measures of the reliability of data, applicable quite generally. These measures grew out of the recognition that crowd coded data contest big data scientists’ conviction that the social contexts and meanings of data become irrelevant in the face of their sheer volumes. Bigness has also challenged available inter–coder agreement coefficients and available software, which are either too restricted regarding the forms of data they accept or exceed computational limits when data become very large. In the course of tailoring Krippendorff’s alpha to very large data, the possibility emerged of dividing the concept of reliability into four separate kinds, serving different methodological aims in social research. They respectively assess the replicability of the process of generating data, the accuracy of generating data, the surrogacy of proposed theories, coders, formulas, or algorithms to serve as a substitute for human coders, and the decisiveness among several human judgements. Their mathematical relationships assure comparability. The paper develops this quadrilogy of agreement measures first for binary data, provides a link to software for computing it, but then extends it to nominal data – a first step towards further generalizations. It also proposes a computational path to estimate the confidence limits for each of these measures and the probabilities of accepting data as reliable when there is a chance of being below a tolerable level. It ends with a discussion of how to select reliability benchmarks appropriate for the quadrilogy of agreement measures.

Researchers frequently measure recognition of information in health messages by presenting participants with statements that were or were not in a message and then asking them to identify which were presented and which were not. Recognition scales are then calculated by summing the correct responses to both the true items and foils, or by summing the correct responses to the true items only. We used a sequence of psychometric analyses, including factor analysis and item response theory (IRT) analysis, to evaluate two recognition measures of this type, using data from previously published studies. We found that foils are less associated with true items than true items are with one another, or more practically, that foils are less associated with the underlying dimension of interest. These results provide researchers with insight into how recognition items function, as well as a better analytic approach for use in future studies.

ABSTRACT Citizen’s exposure to disagreement – whether intentional or incidental – is a central concept in communication research, yet the precise degree to which citizens are exposed to opposing views online and the antecedents to this phenomenon continue to be debated. Despite the theoretical importance of this question, empirical assessments of cross-cutting exposure, especially those involving online settings, are largely based on individuals’ perception of their own behavior. Therefore, we know little regarding response bias in self-reports of cross-cutting exposure online. Combining digital trace data with a panel survey, we observe overreporting of self-reported online cross-cutting exposure. We then demonstrate that self-reported exposure to disagreement is retrospectively conditioned by the perception of the opinion climate in a given context. Finally, using Monte Carlo simulations, we examine the consequences of relying on (potentially imperfect) self-reported measures.

ABSTRACT The first step in many text-as-data studies is to find documents that address a specific topic within a larger document set. Researchers often rely on simple keyword searches to do this, even though this may introduce considerable selection bias. Such bias may be even greater when researchers lack the domain knowledge required to make informed search decisions, for example, in cross-national research or research on unfamiliar social contexts. We propose expert-informed topic modeling (EITM) as a hybrid approach to tackle this problem. EITM combines the validity of external domain knowledge captured through expert surveys with probabilistic topic models to help researchers identify subsets of documents that cover initially unknown domain-specific topics, such as specific events and debates, that belong to a researcher-defined master topic. EITM is a flexible and efficient approach to the thematic selection of documents from large text corpora for further study. We benchmark and validate the method by discovering blog posts that address the public role of religion within large corpora of Australian, Swiss, and Turkish blog posts and provide researchers with a complete workflow to guide the application of EITM in their own work.

ABSTRACT With the increasing importance of online information environments, researchers have started investigating direct measures of online media use, such as online tracking. Most existing studies using tracking data have so far relied on commercial solutions, but these have limitations in terms of their costliness, replicability, and applicability to certain research questions. Hence, different research groups are developing their own tracking solutions for academic purposes. In this paper, we provide a critical review and classification of the existing approaches, apt to guide research decisions on the appropriate tracking approach and tool. First, we develop criteria to distinguish different user-centric desktop and mobile tracking approaches and tools (types of information, technical complexity, privacy implementation, user experience, and availability). Second, we describe different tools and approaches – separately for desktop and mobile tracking – with concrete examples and evaluate them using the aforementioned criteria. Finally, we discuss how different mobile and desktop tracking solutions can complement each other and provide recommendations for future research.

ABSTRACT A distinguishing feature of contemporary relationships is the integration of technological mediation into routine social interaction. The communication interdependence perspective (CIP) explains how interpersonal technologies are interwoven with face-to-face relationships, but its conceptualization of integration is limited. To fill this gap, we expand the CIP by proposing a new measure to explicate and operationalize the ways multiple modalities are interconnected. We evaluated our scale using data from students at two universities (Study 1; N = 355) and confirmed it in a sample of romantic couples (Study 2; N = 280). The 37-item measure exhibited strong psychometric properties and contained two types of constructive integration (using technology to preserve continuity in the relationship and to facilitate togetherness) and three destructive forms (using technology to turn away from the relationship, to perpetuate conflict, and to create tension). Potential applications of the scale for studying multimodal relationships are discussed.

ABSTRACT In this work, we evaluate different instruction strategies to improve the quality of crowdcoding for the concept of civility. We test the effectiveness of training, codebooks, and their combination through 2 × 2 experiments conducted on two different populations – students and Amazon Mechanical Turk workers. In addition, we perform simulations to evaluate the trade-off between cost and performance associated with different instructional strategies and the number of human coders. We find that training improves crowdcoding quality, while codebooks do not. We further show that relying on several human coders and applying majority rule to their assessments significantly improves performance.

Este estudio utilizó el análisis de contenido para analizar la cobertura periodística de los casos de secuestro en Nigeria en los periódicos Daily Trust y The Guardian desde agosto a octubre de 2020. Los objetivos de la investigación son examinar la frecuencia, la prominencia y la dirección para medir el alcance de los casos de secuestro por los periódicos seleccionados. Como marco teórico se utilizaron la teoría del ciclo de atención a la temática y la teoría del encuadre. El supuesto básico de la teoría del ciclo de atención a la temática es que los temas relacionados con el medio ambiente tienden a ser repentinamente más notorios, permaneciendo así durante un breve tiempo y luego se desvanecen gradualmente del centro de la atención pública, mientras que la teoría del encuadre de los medios de comunicación defiende que el encuadre individual implica la comprensión cognitiva del individuo en una situación determinada. El estudio reveló que los dos periódicos informaron más de los casos de secuestro en sus páginas interiores, con un 52,6% (Daily Trust) y un 46,8% (The Guardian).

La presencia del negacionismo climático en los medios de comunicación ha sido estudiada especialmente en algunos países como Reino Unido o Estados Unidos. La evidencia muestra como el negacionismo en los medios de comunicación es un fenómeno minoritario. En las noticias se ha producido una evolución hacia argumentos que ya no cuestionan tanto la existencia del fenómeno o su origen antrópico y esgrimen razones o formas más sutiles para rechazar de la realidad climática, aludiendo a motivos económicos para no actuar o cuestionando la magnitud del fenómeno. Teniendo en cuenta el importante papel que podría jugar la información veraz y científicamente contrastada en los medios de comunicación a la hora de conformar las actitudes sociales frente al problema, es relevante seguir profundizando en el estudio del negacionismo climático en los medios de comunicación, especialmente en países donde estos estudios escasean. Este artículo analiza el tipo de acercamiento idóneo en la investigación sobre el negacionismo climático, teniendo en cuenta las principales características con las que se enfrentan este tipo de estudios.
