摘要

恐怖组织将社会话语融入到他们的叙事中，以利用公众的恐惧。2019冠状病毒病大流行为衡量ISIS如何修改叙述、刺激群体沟通、加强敌人仇恨以及采用新的动员/招募策略提供了机会。利用意义探索理论，本研究调查了ISIS与COVID-19相关的推特活动(N = 630,201)，以及该组织如何利用心理影响和社会破坏。本研究采用对推文情绪和情感的两阶段分析，并对推文激励因素进行统计分析，以探索ISIS如何管理其叙事、需求和网络。结果显示，在所有样本集中，负面情绪得分较高的内容有更多的转发。洞察包括对极端主义活动和群体对外部变化的适应有更深入的了解。

ISIS’s COVID-19 Messaging on Twitter: An Analysis of Tweet Sentiment and Emotions

Terrorist groups have integrated social discourse into their narratives to exploit public fear. The COVID-19 pandemic has provided an opportunity to measure how ISIS modified narratives, stimulated group communication, reinforced enemy hatred, and employed new mobilization/recruitment strategies. Using Significance Quest Theory, this study examines ISIS’s Twitter activity related to COVID-19 (N = 630,201) and how the group leverages the psychological effects and the social disruption. This study employs a two-stage analysis of tweet sentiment and emotion with a statistical analysis of retweet-motivating factors to explore how ISIS manages its narrative, needs, and network. Results show content with higher negative sentiment scores had more retweets across all sample sets. Insights include deeper understanding of extremist activity and group adaptation to external changes.
