Congratulations to @dilettagoglia.bsky.social for successfully presenting her half-time PhD seminar: "Computational methods for studying persuasion in online social communication"!
📊 We (1) measure conversations' disagreement, (2) build a Bayesian model, and (3) perform a linguistic analysis to capture shifts of judgments (and associated motivations) after the majority group's exposure.
🔍 Findings: systematic anti-conformity behavior. Users diverge from the majority stance, increasing persuasive language in their comments.
