Mathematical Modeling of Public Opinion using Traditional and Social MediaCody, Emily 01 January 2016 (has links)
With the growth of the internet, data from text sources has become increasingly available to researchers in the form of online newspapers, journals, and blogs. This data presents a unique opportunity to analyze human opinions and behaviors without soliciting the public explicitly. In this research, I utilize newspaper articles and the social media service Twitter to infer self-reported public opinions and awareness of climate change. Climate change is one of the most important and heavily debated issues of our time, and analyzing large-scale text surrounding this issue reveals insights surrounding self-reported public opinion. First, I inquire about public discourse on both climate change and energy system vulnerability following two large hurricanes. I apply topic modeling techniques to a corpus of articles about each hurricane in order to determine how these topics were reported on in the post event news media. Next, I perform sentiment analysis on a large collection of data from Twitter using a previously developed tool called the "hedonometer". I use this sentiment scoring technique to investigate how the Twitter community reports feeling about climate change. Finally, I generalize the sentiment analysis technique to many other topics of global importance, and compare to more traditional public opinion polling methods. I determine that since traditional public opinion polls have limited reach and high associated costs, text data from Twitter may be the future of public opinion polling.

選舉期間民意測驗新聞報導之研究----以民國八十三年省市長選舉為例 / Newspaper reporting of the public opinion polls: In 1994 election施妙霓, Shih, Miaw-Ni Unknown Date (has links)
本論文旨在探討民國八十三年省市長選舉期間新聞媒介對民意測驗結果
之報導。本論文主要採取內容分析法，研究對象為民國83年 8月 4日至12
月 3日間，曾報導民意測驗之報社，包括中國時報、 中時晚報、聯合報
、聯合晚報、民生報、自立早報、自立晚報、自由時報、中央日報、中華
日報、青年日報、臺灣日報、臺灣新生報、臺灣新聞報、大成報、大明報
、民眾日報、臺灣時報以及臺灣立報等十九家報社。研究觀察的項目包括
民意測驗新聞報導上議題、報導立場、新聞呈現方式與報導方式之差異。
此外，亦比較不同報社與測驗執行機構等因素對上述觀察結果的影響。根
據分析結果，在民國83年省市長選舉期間，本研究所蒐集的樣本中，中時
與聯合兩報系的報導即佔總樣本數的三分之一；在測驗執行機構方面，以
由政黨所執行的測驗居多，佔總則數的四成五，其中，更以由國民黨所執
行的測驗佔最多數；而所有的報導大致是以1000字左右的篇幅呈現。在議
題方面，無論是新聞標題或是新聞報導，均是以「賽馬式報導」議題類為
主。在報導立場上，官方報系（包括中央日報、中華日報、青年日報、臺
灣新生報、臺灣新聞報）的報導立場多傾向國民黨，對國民黨或其候選人
有較多的正面評價；而其他的報社則多數趨於中立的報導立場。在報導結
果呈現方式方面，多數的報導中均述及「描述、反應數據」與呈現「由調
查機構或學者專家對調查結果作分析、解釋或評論」。在報導方式中，有
八成以上的新聞報導中會列出「測驗執行機構」，並以「百分比」的方式
呈現統計結果；然而除了以上兩項以外，其他相關的測驗相關背景資料均
被忽略，僅有在不及半數的新聞報導中被提及，其中尤以列出「問卷問題
」的比例最低，僅有3.1%。整體而言，中時與聯合兩報系的民意測驗新聞
，其結果呈現方式較其他報社多樣化，而在報導方式上，所提供的相關資
訊亦較其他報社為多；而報社報導本身所執行之測驗結果時，亦較符合
AAPOR 所提出對精確新聞報導之要求。

Using the Media as a Means to Develop Students’ Statistical ConceptsKemp, Marian 02 May 2012 (has links) (PDF)
In this era of increasingly fast communication people are being exposed to quantitative information, from national and international sources, through a range of media including newspapers, magazines,
television, radio, pod-casts, YouTube and other areas of the Internet. Contexts include health statistics, environmental issues, traffic statistics, wars, gun laws and so on. It is becoming more and more important that citizens are able to critically read and interpret this information, and to do so requires an understanding of statistical concepts. Research has shown that students are motivated and engaged in learning through the use of authentic, real life tasks. The media provides current information, which can be used to help develop both students’ awareness of how social issues are constructed as well as vital statistical concepts. This paper proposes that secondary school students\' application of a model for statistical analysis to material taken from media sources, enhances their
understanding of statistical concepts. This model, called the Five Step Framework, is described and exemplified for the particular context of opinion polling.

Design survey is mixed. The method is a questionnaire, structured interviews and document analysis. The results show the relative agreement with research by CVVM. Respondents rated significantly differently just 4 professions and teaching professions rated slightly higher than in the original survey. Comparison of the teaching profession, as evaluated by teachers, showed that each group of teachers (according to school grades) evaluated their...

Händler und HeldenSchröder, Benjamin 22 August 2019 (has links)
Die Dissertation untersucht mittels Lokalstudien die Massendemokratie der Zwischenkriegszeit im Medium der Praxis von Wahlkämpfen. Sie argumentiert, dass die britische Demokratie bereits in den 1920er Jahren in deutlich stärkerem Maße als die deutsche nach den Prinzipien eines politischen Marktes funktionierte. Während in der hiesigen politischen Kultur Wähler als Individuen von den Parteien umworben wurden, standen sie sich in Deutschland als Großgruppen und feste Anhängerschaften der Parteien als Gegner - und Feinde - entgegen. Das gab der demokratischen Auseinandersetzung in der Weimarer Republik ein kriegerisches Gepräge, im Kontrast zum pragmatisch-spielerischen Umgang mit Konflikt in Großbritannien. Erklären lässt sich dieser Unterschied aus den Traditionen der Eingewöhnung politischer Partizipation in beiden Ländern im Verlauf des 19. Jahrhunderts, die der „Politik“ in Deutschland ein deutlich höheres Gewicht im sozialen Miteinander mitgab als in Großbritannien. Das letztendliche Scheitern der Weimarer Republik an dieser Attributierung des Politischen mit Bedeutung und des Konflikts mit Ernsthaftigkeit, wirft die Frage auf, ob die moderne Demokratie für ihr Bestehen ein gewisses Maß an Gleichgültigkeit benötigt. / The thesis uses local contexts to study mass democracy in the inter-war period in the medium of electioneering practice. It argues that British democracy already followed the logic of a political market in the 1920s, to a much higher degree than was the case in Germany. Whereas parties wooed voters as individuals here, they were rather seen as part of big social groupings in German political culture, standing off against each other as opponents - and as enemies. This gave democratic contests in the Weimar Republic a war-like character, which stood in contrast to the pragmatic and playful way of dealing with conflict in Britain. The difference is explained by the traditions of how political participation had been learned throughout the 19th century in both countries, where the German path had resulted in 'politics' weighing much more heavily on social relations than was the case in Britain. The eventual failure of the Weimar Republic due to the attribution of meaning to everything political, and due to the seriousness of conflict, begs the question of whether modern democracy, to persist, requires a certain amount of disinterest among the electorate.
