SOLO: A Corpus of Tweets for Examining the State of Being Alone
Table 7: The percentage of words with high/low valence, arousal, and dominance scores in the SOLO corpus. ‘general’ stands for ‘General Tweets Corpus’. The highest numbers in each row are in bold. Within each row, all the differences are statistically significant (Chi-squared test, p<0.0001).
['[BOLD] Dimension', '[BOLD] general', '[BOLD] loneliness', '[BOLD] lonely', '[BOLD] solitude']
We consider words that appear in the VAD lexicon, and count the percentage of words that have high/low valence, arousal, and dominance scores. (The SOLO query words are excluded from the analysis.) For all three dimensions, we consider scores greater than or equal to 0.75 as high scores, and scores lower than or equal to 0.25 as low scores. Within each row, all the differences are statistically significant (Chi-squared test, p<0.0001).
