Navigating Social Media Text Analytics: Overcoming Linguistic Complexity Via Advanced Modeling Techniques, Cecelia F. Gordon, Joseph W. Stewart, Ares Boria Lopez, Hairong Song, Shane Connelly, Matthew Jensen

NCITE Envision Conference

Challenges in Social Media Text Analysis Data Abnormalities: •Ideological datasets often have excessive zeros, nonnormal distributions, and semi-continuous data, complicating accurate analysis, particularly for rare phenomena like radical language and hate speech (King & Zeng, 2001; Wiegand et al., 2019) . Traditional Methods' Limitations: •Existing linguistic processing tools (e.g., LIWC, WordNet) struggle with dynamic and context-dependent language on platforms like Twitter (Tausczik & Pennebaker, 2010; Boyd, 2017). The above challenges are further magnified in studies involving sensitive topics like terrorism-related content, where the extremely low base rates of relevant terms often lead to potential biases in analytical results (Conway et …

Self-Compassion And Occupational Engagement To Promote Overall Well-Being In Graduate Health Professions Students, Elena Wong Espiritu, Cynthia Evetts

Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice

Background: Evidence suggests that there is an increasing trend of graduate students experiencing poor well-being during their educational experience. Health professions students are at an even higher risk for psychological and psychosocial distress. However, there is limited programming to promote graduate student well-being provided in academic settings as most programming is focused on undergraduate students. Purpose: The primary purpose of this exploratory predictive and descriptive, cross-sectional survey study was to determine if self-compassion and occupational engagement constructs (engagement in meaningful occupations, occupational balance, physical activity) significantly predict overall well-being constructs (general psychological distress, health, wellness, general well-being, psychological well-being) in …
