Updating 'The Future of Coding
Over the past decade, social scientists have adapted computational methods for qualitative text analysis, with the hope that they can match the accuracy and reliability of hand coding. The emergence of GPT and open-source generative large language models (LLMs) has transformed this process by shifting from programming to engaging with models using natural language, potentially mimicking the in-depth, inductive, and/or iterative process of qualita…
Attitudes about refugees and immigrants arriving in the United States
From 2013 to 2018, the global refugee population increased by about 50 per cent. Although public opinion toward refugees plays a key role in shaping related policies, scholarly research on this topic remains limited. Using original data from a nationally representative conjoint survey experiment conducted in 2019, we examine whether US citizens’ attitudes toward refugees are distinct from their attitudes toward other types of immigrants to the US…
Lorrydeaths
In this article, we analyze anti- and pro-immigrant attitudes expressed following the Essex Lorry Deaths tragedy in October 2019 in Britain, in which 39 Vietnamese immigrants died in a sealed lorry truck on their way to their destination. We apply Structural Topic Modeling, an automated text analysis method, to a Twitter dataset ( N = 4,376), to understand public responses to the Lorry Deaths incident. We find that Twitter users' posts were organ…
Color‐blind and racially suppressive discourses on German‐speaking Twitter
This study examined German‐speaking Twitter users' reckoning with racism in response to the right‐wing extremist shootings that targeted ethnic minorities in Hanau, Germany. We employed a mixed‐methods analysis combining Structural Topic Modelling (STM) and discourse analysis. We used STM to identify broad topic patterns and focused on the topics involving the racialized commentary the German‐speaking public offered in the aftermath of Hanau. The…
