Dataset for understanding why people share their travel experiences on social media: Structural equation model analysis.

ABSTRACT: The data presented in this article relates to the individual intrinsic and extrinsic motivations to share travel experience in social media. The 381 records were gathered in Portugal using an online survey. A statistical analysis of the data was carried out using partial least squares (PLS). This dataset shows a relationship between identification, internalization, and compliance to perceived enjoyment, and also, between perceived enjoyment, altruistic motivations, personal fulfillment, and self-actualization as well as security and privacy reasons to actual travel experience sharing. For further findings and interpretation, please refer to the research article entitled "Why do people share their travel experiences on social media?" [1]. We suggest the use of this data to compare with data collected by other researchers to develop cross-country analyses based on the model proposed by Oliveira, Araujo, and Tam [1].

Project description:BackgroundThe literature has identified various factors that promote or hinder people's intentions towards COVID-19 vaccination, and structural equation modelling (SEM) is a common approach to validate these associations. We propose a conceptual framework called social media infodemic listening (SoMeIL) for public health behaviours. Hypothesizing parameters retrieved from social media platforms can be used to infer people's intentions towards vaccination behaviours. This study preliminarily validates several components of the SoMeIL conceptual framework using SEM and Twitter data and examines the feasibility of using Twitter data in SEM research.MethodsA total of 2420 English tweets in Toronto or Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, were collected from March 8 to June 30, 2021. Confirmatory factor analysis and SEM were applied to validate the SoMeIL conceptual framework in this cross-sectional study.FindingsThe results showed that sentiment scores, the log-numbers of favourites and retweets of a tweet, and the log-numbers of a user's favourites, followers, and public lists had significant direct associations with COVID-19 vaccination intention. The sentiment score of a tweet had the strongest relationship, whereas a user's number of followers had the weakest relationship with the intention of COVID-19 vaccine uptake.InterpretationThe findings preliminarily validate several components of the SoMeIL conceptual framework by testing associations between self-reported COVID-19 vaccination intention and sentiment scores and the log-numbers of a tweet's favourites and retweets as well as users' favourites, followers, and public lists. This study also demonstrates the feasibility of using Twitter data in SEM research. Importantly, this study preliminarily validates the use of these six components as online reaction behaviours in the SoMeIL framework to infer the self-reported COVID-19 vaccination intentions of Canadian Twitter users in two cities.FundingThis study was supported by the 2023-24 Ontario Graduate Scholarship.

Project description:BACKGROUND:E-liquid is one of the main components in electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS). ENDS review comments could serve as an early warning on use patterns and even function to serve as an indicator of problems or adverse events pertaining to the use of specific e-liquids-much like types of responses tracked by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regarding medications. OBJECTIVE:This study aimed to understand users' "vaping" experience using sentiment opinion summarization techniques, which can help characterize how consumers think about specific e-liquids and their characteristics (eg, flavor, throat hit, and vapor production). METHODS:We collected e-liquid reviews on JuiceDB from June 27, 2013 to December 31, 2017 using its public application programming interface. The dataset contains 27,070 reviews for 8058 e-liquid products. Each review is accompanied by an overall rating and a set of 4 aspect ratings of an e-liquid, each on a scale of 1-5: flavor accuracy, throat hit, value, and cloud production. An iterative dichotomiser 3 (ID3)-based influential aspect analysis model was adopted to learn the key elements that impact e-liquid use. Then, fine-grained sentiment analysis was employed to mine opinions on various aspects of vaping experience related to e-liquids. RESULTS:We found that flavor accuracy and value were the two most important aspects that affected users' sentiments toward e-liquids. Of reviews in JuiceDB, 67.83% (18,362/27,070) were positive, while 12.67% (3430/27,070) were negative. This indicates that users generally hold positive attitudes toward e-liquids. Among the 9 flavors, fruity and sweet were the two most popular. Great and sweet tastes, reasonable value, and strong throat hit made users satisfied with fruity and sweet flavors, whereas "strange" tastes made users dislike those flavors. Meanwhile, users complained about some e-liquids' steep or expensive prices, bad quality, and harsh throat hit. There were 2342 fruity e-liquids and 2049 sweet e-liquids. There were 55.81% (1307/2342) and 59.83% (1226/2049) positive sentiments and 13.62% (319/2342) and 12.88% (264/2049) negative sentiments toward fruity e-liquids and sweet e-liquids, respectively. Great flavors and good vapors contributed to positive reviews of fruity and sweet products. However, bad tastes such as "sour" or "bitter" resulted in negative reviews. These findings can help businesses and policy makers to further improve product quality and formulate effective policy. CONCLUSIONS:This study provides an effective mechanism for analyzing users' ENDS vaping experience based on sentiment opinion summarization techniques. Sentiment opinions on aspect and products can be found using our method, which is of great importance to monitor e-liquid products and improve work efficiency.

Project description:BackgroundCutaneous melanoma is an aggressive malignancy that is proposed to account for 90% of skin cancer-related mortality. Individuals with melanoma experience both physical and psychological impacts associated with their diagnosis and treatment. Health-related information is being increasingly accessed and shared by stakeholders on social media platforms.ObjectiveThis study aimed to assess how individuals living with melanoma across 14 European countries use social media to discuss their needs and provide their perceptions of the disease.MethodsSocial media sources including Twitter, forums, and blogs were searched using predefined search strings of keywords relating to melanoma. Manual and automated relevancy approaches filtered the extracted data for content that provided patient-centric insights. This contextualized data was then mined for insightful concepts around the symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, impacts, and lived experiences of melanoma.ResultsA total of 182,400 posts related to melanoma were identified between November 2018 and November 2020. Following exclusion of irrelevant posts and using random sampling methodology, 864 posts were identified as relevant to the study objectives. Of the social media channels included, Twitter was the most commonly used, followed by forums and blogs. Most posts originated from the United Kingdom (n=328, 38%) and Spain (n=138, 16%). Of the relevant posts, 62% (n=536) were categorized as originating from individuals with melanoma. The most frequently discussed melanoma-related topics were treatment (436/792, 55%), diagnosis and tests (261/792, 33%), and remission (190/792, 24%). The majority of treatment discussions were about surgery (292/436, 67%), followed by immunotherapy (52/436, 12%). In total, 255 posts discussed the impacts of melanoma, which included emotional burden (n=179, 70%), physical impacts (n=61, 24%), effects on social life (n=43, 17%), and financial impacts (n=10, 4%).ConclusionsFindings from this study highlight how melanoma stakeholders discuss key concepts associated with the condition on social media, adding to the conceptual model of the patient journey. This social media listening approach is a powerful tool for exploring melanoma stakeholder perspectives, providing insights that can be used to corroborate existing data and inform future studies.
