Modeling Public Mood and Emotion: Twitter Sentiment and Socio-Economic Phenomena. Bollen, J., Mao, H., & Pepe, A. In
abstract   bibtex   
We perform a sentiment analysis of all tweets published on the microblogging platform Twitter in the second half of 2008. We use a psychometric instrument to ex-tract six mood states (tension, depression, anger, vigor, fatigue, confusion) from the aggregated Twitter con-tent and compute a six-dimensional mood vector for each day in the timeline. We compare our results to a record of popular events gathered from media and sources. We find that events in the social, political, cul-tural and economic sphere do have a significant, imme-diate and highly specific effect on the various dimen-sions of public mood. We speculate that large scale anal-yses of mood can provide a solid platform to model col-lective emotive trends in terms of their predictive value with regards to existing social as well as economic indi-cators.
