解密2016年美国总统竞选在Twitter领域:特朗普主义者和克林顿主义者的比较
Deciphering the 2016 U.S. Presidential Campaign in the Twitter Sphere: A Comparison of the Trumpists and Clintonists
摘要:
在本文中,我们研究了2016年美国总统竞选中两位领先候选人唐纳德·特朗普和希拉里·克林顿的追随者人口统计数据。我们构建了一个独特的数据集US2016,其中包括2015年9月17日至2015年12月22日期间每个候选人的关注者数量。US2016还包括这些追随者的地理位置,他们自己的追随者数量,以及非常重要的每个追随者的个人资料图像。我们使用个人的追随者数量和个人资料图片来分析追随者人口统计的四个维度:社会地位,性别,种族和年龄。我们的研究表明,在社会影响力方面,特朗普主义者比克林顿主义者更加两极分化:他们往往要么影响力很大,要么影响力很小。我们还发现,与克林顿主义者相比,特朗普主义者更有可能要么很年轻,要么很老。我们的研究发现,在Twitter领域,克林顿的性别亲和力没有影响,但我们确实发现克林顿主义者的种族更加多样化。
英文摘要:
In this paper, we study follower demographics of Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, the two leading candidates in the 2016 U.S. presidential race. We build a unique dataset US2016, which includes the number of followers for each candidate from September 17, 2015 to December 22, 2015. US2016 also includes the geographical location of these followers, the number of their own followers and, very importantly, the profile image of each follower. We use individuals' number of followers and profile images to analyze four dimensions of follower demographics: social status, gender, race and age. Our study shows that in terms of social influence, the Trumpists are more polarized than the Clintonists: they tend to have either a lot of influence or little influence. We also find that compared with the Clintonists, the Trumpists are more likely to be either very young or very old. Our study finds no gender affinity effect for Clinton in the Twitter sphere, but we do find that the Clintonists are more racially diverse.
