Opinion Polarization on COVID-19 Measures: Integrating Surveys and Social Media Data

EasyChair Preprint 6127

Abstract

We introduce a framework for a multi-perspective analysis of opinion polarization using surveys, social media, and integrated data, which we tested on the topic of COVID-19 prevention measures in the German-speaking DACH region and find that vaccination is more polarizing than mask-wearing and contact tracing in surveys and social media.

Keyphrases: covid-19 measures, integrating data sources, opinion polarization, social media, surveys
