Sentiment analysis and opinion mining is the field of study that analyzes people's opinions, sentiments, evaluations, attitudes, and emotions from written language. It is one of the most active research areas in natural language processing and is also widely studied in data mining, Web mining, and text mining. In fact, this research has spread outside of computer science to the management sciences and social sciences due to its importance to business and society as a whole. The growing importance of sentiment analysis coincides with the growth of social media such as reviews, forum discussions, blogs, micro-blogs, Twitter, and social networks. For the first time in human history, we now have a huge volume of opinionated data recorded in digital form for analysis. Sentiment analysis systems are being applied in almost every business and social domain because opinions are central to almost all human activities and are key influencers of our behaviors. Our beliefs and perceptions of reality, and the choices we make, are largely conditioned on how others see and evaluate the world. For this reason, when we need to make a decision we often seek out the opinions of others. This is true not only for individuals but also for organizations. This book is a comprehensive introductory and survey text. It covers all important topics and the latest developments in the field with over 400 references. It is suitable for students, researchers and practitioners who are interested in social media analysis in general and sentiment analysis in particular. Lecturers can readily use it in class for courses on natural language processing, social media analysis, text mining, and data mining. Lecture slides are also available online.

Sentiment Analysis and Opinion Mining

We are in the midst of a technological revolution whereby, for the first time, researchers can link daily word use to a broad array of real-world behaviors. This article reviews several computerized text analysis methods and describes how Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC) was created and validated. LIWC is a transparent text analysis program that counts words in psychologically meaningful categories. Empirical results using LIWC demonstrate its ability to detect meaning in a wide variety of experimental settings, including to show attentional focus, emotionality, social relationships, thinking styles, and individual differences.

The systematic search for verbal cues to deceit has accelerated since the 1950s resulting in several verbal veracity assessment tools including the Verifiability Approach. The core of the approach is that truth tellers will report more details that an investigator can check than liars. This chapter presents an overview of the Verifiability Approach. It discusses the underling rationale and the empirical evidence to date. That evidence suggests that the Verifiability Approach detects truth tellers and liars with about 70 percent accuracy. The chapter finishes with a discussion of the strong features of the approach.

Journal of Nonverbal Behavior, 36, 205–251; Mann, S., Vrij, A., Shaw, D., Leal, S., Ewans, S., Hillman, J., Granhag, P. A., & Fisher, R. P. [2012]. Two heads are better than one?

Legal and Criminological Psychology. doi: 10.1111/j.2044-8333.2012.02055.x) found that liars display more deliberate eye contact than truth-tellers but did not examine the reasons why they do this. We hypothesized that liars seek more eye contact because they want to convince the interviewer that they are telling the truth and want to check whether the interviewer appears to believe them. In the present experiment, truth-tellers (N = 76) prepared room A for a seminar. Liars (N = 81) ‘illegally’ copied encrypted information in room B and were instructed to use as an alibi that they were preparing room A ...
