Dear Sir or Madam,
I am one of the presenters in 2018 SASP, and here are my talks hoping to
put in your OSF website.
Subject: BIG DATA IN SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY - METHODOLOGY AND APPLICATION
Message Body: Big data available through social media platforms can be used
to understand social phenomena in their naturalistic environment and reveal
the dynamic processes that take place over time. However, despite the
immense potential of this form of research, there remains a lack of
guidance for social psychologists who want to specialise in studies of this
nature. This paper presents: (a) an overview of existing studies that have
examined the big data through Facebook or Twitter platforms to a variety of
psychological themes; and (b) the strengths and limitations of big data
approach in comparison to the typical methods relying on lab experiments or
surveys. We conclude with an illustration of big data analytics using
tweets from a recent rugby game to highlight how the method can be used to
understand changes in group-based emotions.
