Περίληψη

Η ανάλυση συναισθήματος όπως εκφράζεται στα μέσα κοινωνικής δικτύωσης έχει αποτελέσει αντικείμενο διερεύνησης στον χώρο της υπολογιστικής πολιτικής επιστήμης σε συνδυασμό με την εκλογική συμπεριφορά. Το ενδιαφέρον πυροδοτήθηκε και από τα παραδείγματα επιτυχημένης αξιοποίησης των μέσων κοινωνικής δικτύωσης από υποψηφίους όπως ο Obama ή από εταιρείες που επιχείρησαν να χειραγωγήσουν την κοινή γνώμη (π.χ., η εμπλοκή του ρωσικού Internet Research Agency και της  Cambridge Analytica στις αμερικανικές προεδρικές εκλογές του 2016, ή της τελευταίας στο βρετανικό δημοψήφισμα για το Brexit). Σε αυτό το άρθρο παρουσιάζουμε μία πιο ενδελεχή ανάλυση, καθώς περνάμε από την πολικότητα (θετική ή αρνητική) του συναισθήματος σε συγκεκριμένα αισθήματα, συνδυάζουμε την ανάλυση συναισθήματος με την ανάλυση κοινωνικών δικτύων, και την εφαρμόζουμε στα tweets, τα οποία διακινήθηκαν την περίοδο των κρίσιμων ελληνικών εκλογών του 2015 και 2019. Διαπιστώνουμε ότι ισχύει και στη συγκεκριμένη περίπτωση (όπως και σε άλλες χώρες) η συσχέτιση μεταξύ ορισμένων αισθημάτων και της εκλογικής συμπεριφοράς, αλλά και ότι η ένταση έκφρασης των αισθημάτων αυτών ίσως να αποτελεί ένδειξη του αιτήματος για πολιτική αλλαγή.
