Attitudinally-positioned European sample dataset
Résumé
This deliverable provides the first version of a dataset of attitudinally positioned populations together with the conceptual and methodological framework required to leverage attitudinal inference for large populations of social media users in Europe. Building on recent advancements on large-scale multi-dimensional political attitude inference in social networks and text, we show how to create a European sample of attitudinally-positioned users along a Left-Right and a Anti-elite dimension measuring attitudes towards elites and trust in institutions. These two dimensions are shown to be relevant to conduct both traditional political analysis on social media and analyses accounting for new forms of polarization related to democratic backsliding. This dataset of users will serve as a frame of reference for the development of case studies exploring different links between activity in online platforms, evidence and impacts in politics in other tasks of the project.
