1. “Detecting a digital movement of opinion from social media data and metadata”<\/span><\/em>
\n(December 11 (Tue), 16:30\uff5e18:00, Room 708, Building No.3)<\/p>\nA \u2018digital movement of opinion\u2019 is a manifestation both of digital activism and social media-based public opinion. Rather than using traditional research methods, this phenomenon can be studied through a triangulation of quantitative methods (digital network and metadata analyses) and a more qualitative analysis of message contents. This allows to detect the degree of homogeneity of a discussion network, the network users\u2019 mode of engagement, the level of their interconnectedness, and the profile of the network\u2019s main influencers in the digital movement of opinion.<\/p>\n
2. “Analyzing classical sociological texts through semi-supervised techniques of quantitative content analysis”<\/span><\/em>
\n(December 18 (Tue), 14:45\uff5e16:15, Room 807, Building No.3)<\/p>\nThis seminar offers an overview of the quantitative-qualitative techniques of content analysis which may be used in the study of scholarly literature, with a special application to social theory. Using original texts by classical and contemporary sociologists such as Weber, Durkheim, and Bourdieu, examples are provided of text-based relational analyses such as hierarchical clustering, multidimensional scaling, proximity based on word co-occurrence, together with more qualitative categorizations. This approach can shed new light on the similarities and distinctiveness in the written production of different authors.<\/p>\n
3.”Using online survey experiments in the study of social and political prejudice”<\/span><\/em>
\n(December 20 (Thu), 16:30\uff5e18:00, Meeting Room No.1, 10th\u00a0Floor, Building No.3)<\/p>\nLaboratory experiments in social sciences are typically endowed with the capability of effectively isolating causal mechanisms (internal validity), but also with a weak propensity to generalize findings out of the laboratory situation. The emergence of population-based online survey experiments, in the form of so-called vignette (or multi-factorial) experiments, have granted higher internal and external validity and, by submitting randomized verbal or non-verbal cues within the framework of survey questionnaires, permitted to shed new light on dynamics of prejudice against social out-groups, as well as of attitude polarization in politics.<\/p>\n
