이 연구는 여론지각과 의견표명의 관계가 의견분포가 상이한 지역에서도, 상이한 이슈에 대해서도 여전히 유효한지를 분석하고 이슈에 대한 의견과 지각편향이 의견표명에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 검증하였다. 또한 여론형성과정에서 개인이 수행하는 역할유형별로 어떠한 특성을 지니는지 검토하였다. 분석결과 이슈에 대한 의견과 의견강도는 이슈 및 지역에 관계없이 의견표명과 유의미한 관계가 있었지만, 여론지각은 지역과 이슈에 따라, 의견표명지역에 따라 의견표명에 미치는 영향이 상이하였고, 지각편향집단간에는 의견표명에 유의미한 차이가 발견되지 않았다. 회귀분석 결과 반대의견과 의견강도는 의견표명을 예측하는 주요 변인이었으나 여론지각은 침묵의 나선이론과 달리 어떤 이슈에서도 유의미한 예측변인이 아니었다. 오히려 반대편향집단에서 의견표명의사가 낮게 나타나 지각편향이 의견표명을 예측하는 주요 변인임을 알 수 있다. 여론형성과점에서 하드코어는 두 이슈에 대해 찬성의견이 많았고 반대편향의 비율이 다른 집단들에 비해 월등하게 많았다. 연구결과는 의견표명을 설명하는 여론관련 변인들을 다차원적으로 고려할 필요가 있음을 제기한다.

International public opinion on King Sejong Institute (KSI) is one of the most important factors influencing its overseas development as a worldwide non-profit educational service organization. China is one of the overseas strategic regions for KSI to spread the Korean Language. This paper intends to assess KSI's current public opinion environment in China. With content analysis of 87 news reports related to KSI in WeChat Official Accounts from 2014 to 2022, this paper attempts to assess the public opinion environment of KSI in China. In this paper, we show that the Chinese media' s current attention to KSI is generally lacking. The current reports focus more on activity narrations, and the main report factors come from local media and universities' oncampus news, which have relatively weak dissemination power and limited influences. On one side, the reasons are related to the characteristics of Chinese media, while the KSI establishment method in China also accounts for a lot. Therefore, it is necessary for the KSI to timely adjust the cooperation mode and publicity strategies according to the Chinese political and cultural characteristics to promote the sustainable development of KSI in China by continuously improving the public opinion environment.

A telephone survey was conducted in a metropolitan city in 2012 to examine people's credibility ratings of different media outlets, in particular, Weibo - one of the most popular social media platforms in China. Our findings suggest: First, people place more trust in traditional news media than in online sources by a significant margin. Second, demographic influences on media trust seem to be minimal. Only age and gender were related to some credibility measures. Third, Weibo use was not related to one's credibility perception toward traditional media but interestingly, Weibo use showed different impacts on people's evaluation of Weibo's credibility. Commenting frequency was negatively related to one's trust in Weibo, while retweeting frequency was positively related to one's trust in Weibo.

Domain transfer is a widely recognized problem for machine learning algorithms because models built upon one data domain generally do not perform well in another data domain. This is especially a challenge for tasks such as opinion classification, which often has to deal with insufficient quantities of labeled data. This study investigates the feasibility of self-training in dealing with the domain transfer problem in opinion classification via leveraging labeled data in non-target data domain(s) and unlabeled data in the target-domain. Specifically, self-training is evaluated for effectiveness in sparse data situations and feasibility for domain adaptation in opinion classification. Three types of Web content are tested: edited news articles, semi-structured movie reviews, and the informal and unstructured content of the blogosphere. Findings of this study suggest that, when there are limited labeled data, self-training is a promising approach for opinion classification, although the contributions vary across data domains. Significant improvement was demonstrated for the most challenging data domain-the blogosphere-when a domain transfer-based self-training strategy was implemented.

최근 들어 SNS가 대중화됨에 따라, 이들로 부터 오피니언을 분석하여 특정 이슈에 대한 여론을 파악하려는 다양한 연구가 진행되고 있다. SNS 환경에서 오피니언 분석을 위해서는 우선 게시글 중에서 오피니언 문서와 그렇지 않은 문서(객관적 문서)를 분리해야한다. 본 논문에서는 트위터 문서로 부터 오피니언 문서만을 추출하는 새로운 방법을 제안한다. 트위터 환경에서 오피니언 문서에 대한 분류나 검색의 어려운 점은 충분한 학습 자료가 존재하지 않다는데 있다 이를 위해 제안된 방법에서는 감성 분류를 위해 트위터와 유사한 외부의 정보를 이용하여 기계학습기반 분류 모델을 생성하고, 이를 응용하여 트위터에서의 오피니언 문서 추출에 적용하였다. 또한 실험을 통하여 제안된 방법의 적용 가능성을 평가하였다.

Since 2008, strategic partnerships have been established between China and Korea. From 2009 to 2019, the bilateral relationship kept a generally stable rate of development with conflicts and uncertainties. It is necessary to study national image construction in the respective mainstream media of the two countries. The present study analyzed Korea-related reports (N = 744) in the People's Daily from 2009 to 2019, aiming to examine the Korean national image framing under Fairclough's three-dimensional Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) framework: "whatness," "how," and "whyness." The results shed light on what the Korean national image in the People's Daily was and how and why it was framed in that way. This study provided some implications for readers to further recognize the role that media play in constructing a particular image of one country and a frame for researchers to study foreign national image framing in one of China's mainstream newspapers.

We have frequently encountered the rapid changes that prevalent opinion of the social community is toppled by a new and opposite opinion against the pre-exiting one. To understand this interesting process, mean-field model with infinite-interaction range has been mostly considered in previous studies S. A. Marvel et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 110, 118702 (2012). However, the mean-field interaction range is lack of reality in the sense that any individual cannot interact with all of the others in the community. Based on it, in the present work, we consider a simple model of opinion consensus so-called basic model on the low-dimensional lattices (d = 1, 2) with finite interaction range. The model consists of four types of subpopulations with different opinions: A, B, AB, and the zealot of A denoted by $A_c$, following the basic model shown in the work by S. A. Marvel et al.. Comparing with their work, we consider the finite range of the interaction, and particularly reconstruct the lattice structure by adding new links when the two individuals have the distance < ${\sigma}$. We explore how the interaction range ${\sigma}$ affects the opinion consensus process on the reconstructed lattice structure. We find that the critical fraction of population for $A_c$ required for the opinion consensus on A shows different behaviors in the small and large interaction ranges. Especially, the critical fraction for $A_c$ increases with the size of ${\sigma}$ in the region of small interaction range, which is counter-intuitive: When the interaction range is increased, not only the number of nodes affected by $A_c$ but also that affected by B grows, which is believed to cause the increasing behavior of the critical fraction for $A_c$. We also present the difference of dynamic process to the opinion consensus between the regions of small and large interaction ranges.

Threat is one special type of communication whereby one conveys opinion, knowledge, or attitude to another with an intention to influence and modify the latter's opinion or behavior. This research aims at identifying the antecedents and the effectiveness of threats applied in the process of purchasing decision-making. The research model integrates constructs derived from the literature of diverse discipline. The framework suggested explains the relative effects of threats, is tested empirically to verify the impacts on the influenced target's opinions and behaviors in buying centers. Data are collected from CAPM's members in Taiwan, and 208 respondents served as targets in the interpersonal relationships. LISREL findings indicate that threats are effective in winning a target's compliance. Additionally, influencing source's characteristics affect the choice of threats more strongly than target characteristics do. The relative ability of dependence on the source to cause manifest influence is even more significant than that of threats. Overall, the results of this study appear consistent with behavioral theories and research.

This research is a qualitative based study by using data gleaned from documentary analysis and in-depth interviews of 10 potential stakeholders were involved in the proposed high-speed train project in Thailand. Many perspectives from key informants revealed that this project would bring Thailand sustainable development in the future due to the fact that it is supposed to be an environmentally friendly mode of transportation and timesaving for passengers. Key informants who tend to have negative opinions towards the project feel apprehension due to the huge monetary investment during a time of monetary crisis. However, there was one complaint that the high-speed train is harmful to the environment surrounding the proposed area of this project. Several key informants agreed that ticket fares must be in between the cost of a bus ticket and airfare.

이 연구는 우리 사회의 지역 간, 세대 간 여론양극화 현상의 양태를 살펴보고 여론양극화 현상에 영향을 미치는 요인들이 무엇인지를 검증하고자 하였다. 분석 결과 전국이슈에서 실제 지역 간 여론차이는 없었으나 여론지각과 지각편향에서 차이가 있었고, 지역이슈에서는 실제 여론차이가 있었으나 여론지각과 지각편향의 차이가 더 심하게 나타나 여론양극화 현상은 실제 여론의 차이보다는 지각된 여론에 기인한 것임을 알 수 있다. 부산은 자기 지역여론에 대해 보수편향을, 타 지역 여론에 대해서는 진보편향을 보였고, 광주는 자기 지역여론에 대해서는 거울반사인식을, 타 지역 여론에 대해서는 보수편향을 보였다. 또한 각 지역여론에 대한 두 지역의 지각이 유사하여 상대지역에 대한 스테레오타입화된 태도나 믿음에 근거해 여론지각이 이루어지고 있음을 알 수 있다. 세대 간 여론양극화 현상은 유의미하지 않았으며, 모든 세대가 대체로 다른 사람들이 자신보다 보수적이라는 보수편향을 보였지만, 지역 간 여론지각에서는 이슈에 따라, 세대에 따라 지각편향이 다르게 나타났다. 지역과 세대를 교차 비교한 결과 전국이슈에 대한 실제의견을 제외하고 세대별로도 지역 간 여론양극화 현상이 나타났다. 한편 회귀분석 결과 개인의 의견과 지역은 여론 및 여론지각, 지각편향을 설명하는 매우 예측력 높은 변인이었으나 세대의 설명력은 디지털 세대에서만 약하게 나타났다.
