COVID-19信息流行期间印度国家公告和Twitter之间情绪的心理测量学分析和耦合
Psychometric Analysis and Coupling of Emotions Between State Bulletins and Twitter in India during COVID-19 Infodemic
摘要：
2019冠状病毒病的信息传播速度超过了疫情本身。信息流行浪潮中的错误信息对人民的健康和治理系统构成了重大威胁。由于社交媒体是最大的信息来源，因此管理信息流行病不仅需要减少错误信息，还需要及早了解由此产生的心理模式。在COVID-19危机期间，自2020年3月6日以来，仅Twitter一家公司的策划活动页面的使用量就急剧增加了45%，其直接消息的使用量也增加了30%。在这项研究中，我们分析了印度国家和邦一级COVID-19信息流行病与COVID-19相关官方公报的心理测量影响和耦合。我们用心理语言学的视角来看待这两个来源，并量化了两者之间的程度和耦合。我们修改了path，这是一个基于深度skip-gram的开源词典构建器，可以有效地捕捉与健康相关的情绪。然后，我们能够在社交媒体和官方公告中捕捉与健康相关的情绪的时间演变。使用格兰杰因果关系对从官方公告和社交媒体中提取的情绪时间序列之间的领先滞后关系进行分析表明，国家公告在医疗紧急情况等某些情绪方面领先于社交媒体。进一步的见解，是潜在的相关的政策制定者和积极从事减轻错误信息的传播者也进行了讨论。我们的论文还介绍了CoronaIndiaDataset 2，这是印度第一个基于社交媒体的国家和州级COVID-19数据集，拥有超过560万条国家和260万条州级推文。最后，我们将我们的研究结果作为COVibes，这是一个交互式网络应用程序，可以在国家和州一级捕获CoronaIndiaDataset上捕获的心理测量见解。
英文摘要：
COVID-19 infodemic has been spreading faster than the pandemic itself. The misinformation riding upon the infodemic wave poses a major threat to people's health and governance systems. Since social media is the largest source of information, managing the infodemic not only requires mitigating of misinformation but also an early understanding of psychological patterns resulting from it. During the COVID-19 crisis, Twitter alone has seen a sharp 45% increase in the usage of its curated events page, and a 30% increase in its direct messaging usage, since March 6th 2020. In this study, we analyze the psychometric impact and coupling of the COVID-19 infodemic with the official bulletins related to COVID-19 at the national and state level in India. We look at these two sources with a psycho-linguistic lens of emotions and quantified the extent and coupling between the two. We modified path, a deep skip-gram based open-sourced lexicon builder for effective capture of health-related emotions. We were then able to capture the time-evolution of health-related emotions in social media and official bulletins. An analysis of lead-lag relationships between the time series of extracted emotions from official bulletins and social media using Granger's causality showed that state bulletins were leading the social media for some emotions such as Medical Emergency. Further insights that are potentially relevant for the policymaker and the communicators actively engaged in mitigating misinformation are also discussed. Our paper also introduces CoronaIndiaDataset2, the first social media based COVID-19 dataset at national and state levels from India with over 5.6 million national and 2.6 million state-level tweets. Finally, we present our findings as COVibes, an interactive web application capturing psychometric insights captured upon the CoronaIndiaDataset, both at a national and state level.
