My child is one in a million: Parents hesitant to vaccinate their children, or communities of practice in the field of (alternative) medicine
A growing concern over declining childhood vaccination rates prompts a closer examination of vaccine hesitancy in Poland. This study, based on 80 in-depth interviews with hesitant parents, unveils their beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors. It explores the influence of offline interactions with family, friends, and healthcare professionals, as well as online sources, particularly social media, in shaping their views. The research underscores the int…

This study investigates expert figures’ roles in alien-related UFO conspiracy theories, focusing on their impact on public perception through social media analysis. Utilizing a blend of content and trend analysis, we examine the invocation of scientific authority in UFO conspiracy narratives, identifying a reliance on expert endorsement to legitimize claims about extraterrestrial activity and government secrecy. Findings highlight a common use of…

The good, the bad, and the ugly: Anti-Ukrainian narratives on Polish Twitter
The article focuses on anti-Ukrainian narratives spread on Twitter. We performed a Thick Big Data analysis of words and hashtags connected with anti-Ukrainian narratives. We collected 16,700 tweets from 25 January 2023 to 22 February 2023, focusing on the most popular and commented ones. Furthermore, we conducted multi-modal narrative and rhetorical analyses to distinguish the typology of narrations. This article sheds light on how vital narratio…
What’s hot and what's not in lay psychology: Wikipedia’s most-viewed articles
We studied views of articles about psychology on 10 language editions of Wikipedia from July 1, 2015, to January 6, 2021. We were most interested in what psychology topics Wikipedia users wanted to read, and how the frequency of views changed during the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdowns. Our results show that the topics of interest to people seeking psychological knowledge changed during the pandemic. In addition, the interests differ noticeably am…
Communication aimed at engendering trustworthiness: An analysis of CSR messages on Twitter
A growing body of research is exploring corporate communication in relation to corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities on social media (SM). Nonetheless, while these studies have shown that SM communication may be an effective tool for reaching and engaging various stakeholders, how the design of corporate CSR communication engenders trustworthiness has yet to be examined. To address this gap, we suggest that SM communication may include…
Gender Gap in All Academic Fields Over Time
Academic publishing gender gap has been surprisingly under covered across all disciplines and over a longer timeframe. Our study fills this gap, by analyzing how the proportions of women authors change in academic publications over 20 years in all fields from 31,219 journals from 2001 to 2021. Our results indicate that the ratio of female to male authors keeps increasing steadily across disciplines. The increases are field-neutral—in other words,…
Involuntary Disclosures and Stakeholder-Initiated Communication on Social Media
This study explores firm responses to stakeholder-initiated involuntary disclosures, which are disclosures made by stakeholders about an organization but are against the will of managers, and subsequent stakeholder reactions. We analyzed 134,977 firm Twitter replies from seven companies to identify their responses to involuntary corporate social responsibility (CSR) disclosures and find that companies demonstrate different attitudes toward engage…
The invisible women: Uncovering gender bias in AI-generated images of professionals
This study explores gender bias in AI-generated images of professionals, focusing on the visual representation of male and female professionals in law, medicine, engineering, and scientific research. Using a sample of 99 images from nine popular text-to-image generators, we conducted a survey of 120 respondents who assessed the perceived gender of the images. Our findings reveal a significant gender bias, with men represented in 76% of the images…
Men not going their own way: A thick big data analysis of #MGTOW and #Feminism tweets
Online misogyny is growing at an alarming rate, constituting a violent backlash against feminist activism for gender equality. In our paper, we analyze misogynistic discourses on Twitter generated by #MGTOW (men going their own way) using Thick Big Data. This mixed research method involved a quantitative analysis of 167,582 tweets with #MGTOW and #feminism, followed by a qualitative study of 1,000 tweets of both hashtags. Our study reveals that d…
How do transnational public spheres emerge? Comparing news and social media networks during the Madrid climate talks
In this study, we explore two parallel networks of discourse during the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) negotiations of 2019 in Madrid (25th Conference of the Parties, COP25): one produced by news media coverage of the talks; the other by Twitter users who shared news content about the talks. Findings show that transnational public spheres can emerge out of relatively homogeneous moments internal to networks and ext…
How Are Public Spheres Transnational? Comparing News and Social Media Networks During the Madrid Climate Talks
In this study, we explore two parallel but related networks of discourse that arose during the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) negotiations of 2019 in Madrid: one produced by news media coverage of the talks; the other by Twitter users who shared news content about the talks. As these networks disseminated information about the UNFCCC’s 25th Conference of the Parties (COP25), we see them as key channels of communica…
Intercessory Rote Prayer, Life Longevity and the Mortality of Roman Catholic Bishops: An Exploratory Study
Based on a computational analysis of a large dataset, this study explores if there is a significant longevity effect of intercessory prayer for a named individual’s well-being, if he receives a very high number of prayers per annum for an extended period. We relied on an observational cohort study, based on data from 1988 to 2018, including 857 Roman Catholic bishops, 500 Catholic priests, and 3038 male academics from six countries. We measured t…
Does Godwin’s law (rule of Nazi analogies) apply in observable reality? An empirical study of selected words in 199 million Reddit posts
As Godwin’s Law states, “as a discussion on the Internet grows longer, the likelihood of a person being compared to Hitler, or another Nazi reference, increases.” However, even though the theoretical probability of an infinitely long conversation including any term should approach 1.0, in practice, conversations cannot be infinite in length, and this long-accepted axiom is impossible to observe. By analyzing 199 million Reddit posts, we note that…
Public involvement in risk governance in the internet era: Impact of new rules of building trust and credibility
The article draws attention to the multidirectional impact of the widespread Internet communication on public involvement in risk governance processes. The prevalence of Internet communication changes the rules of building credibility and trust, and a position of expert knowledge. As online peer-to-peer information are not verified by any single trustworthy institution, the expert community often perceives it as a source of disturbance in risk go…
Psychology and Wikipedia: Measuring Psychology Journals’ Impact by Wikipedia Citations
The aim of the study was to explore the impact of peer-reviewed psychology journals on Wikipedia articles. We are presenting a rank of academic journals classified as pertaining to psychology, most cited on Wikipedia, as well as a rank of general-themed academic journals that were most frequently referenced in Wikipedia entries related to psychology. We then compare the list to journals that are considered most prestigious according to the SciMag…
Thick Big Data: Doing Digital Social Sciences
The social sciences are becoming datafied. The questions that have been considered the domain of sociologists, now are answered by data scientists, operating on large datasets, and breaking with the methodological tradition for better or worse. The traditional social sciences, such as sociology or anthropology, are thus under the double threat of becoming marginalized or even irrelevant; both because of the new methods of research, which require …

Socjologia 2.0: O potrzebie łączenia Big Data z etnografią cyfrową, wyzwaniach jakościowej socjologii cyfrowej i systematyzacji pojęć
Cel artykułu to pokazanie, że badania z zakresu socjologii cyfrowej są ważnym uzupełnieniem większości projektów badań społecznych oraz wprowadzenie systematyzacji pojęciowej. Omawiam różnice znaczeniowe i kategoryzacyjne pojęć. Przedstawiam podstawowe zalety badań ilościowych i Big Data, argumentując, że pełne ich wykorzystanie jest możliwe przede wszystkim dzięki uzupełnieniu badań ilościowych o thick data pochodzące z pogłębionych badań jakośc…
Anecdotal evidence: Understanding organizational reality through organizational humorous tales
In the paper, we propose a new focus in qualitative organization studies, which we call organizational anecdotal evidence. The novelty of our method is in linking storytelling, studies of organizational anecdotes, and humor studies. We claim that organizational anecdotes, jokes, and short fictional stories should become a core object of organizational culture analysis, rather than be refuted as unimportant. This is so because the study of organiz…

Wake Up or Perish: Neo-Liberalism, the Social Sciences, and Salvaging the Public University
Higher education around the world is currently undergoing a neo-liberal administrative takeover. The drive to reduce costs and increased bureaucratization do not serve any other purpose than increasing the power of the universities' administration. The reasons for allowing this situation to happen are related to scholars' inertia and subscribing to a belief that academia can and should be impractical. As a result, the emerging corporate universit…
