       Positively and Less Negatively About Karroubi Than About 
       Mousavi -- Initially, Twitter Users Swore More About 
       Ahmadinejad Than About Mousavi, but the Opposite Became 
       True -- Policy Implications -- Pro-Government and 
       Opposition Groups: The Green Movement, the Revolutionary 
       Guards, and the Basij -- Summary -- Background -- 
       Comparing Trends in Public Opinion About Political Groups

       About the Basij Than About the Revolutionary Guards -- 
       Public Opinion About the United States, President Obama, 
       and the CIA -- Summary -- Usage of Swear Words Suggests

       of First-Person Singular Pronouns Regarding the United 
       States and President Obama Generally Paralleled Usage of 
       Swear Words -- Pronoun Use When Writing About Obama as 
       Compared with Iranian Figures -- Twitter Users Expressed

       Republic" Than to "Iran" -- Twitter Users Expressed 
       Positive Emotions Toward Israelis Who May Have Aided the 
       Protest Movement -- Methodological Considerations -- 
       Additional Demonstration of the Methodology: Sadness Words
       -- Linguistic Indicators That Did Not Work as Expected on 
       Twitter -- Differences in Phrasing May Reflect Differing 
       Intentions and Writing Styles -- Limitations of Automated 
       Analysis Suggest That It Is a Complementary Approach to 
       Manual Analysis -- Next Steps: A Design for a Second Phase
       of This Program of Research -- Looking Ahead Toward the 
       2013 Iranian Presidential Elections -- Validating the 
       Methodology -- Improving Current Aspects of the 
       Methodology -- Expanding the Scope of the Current Work --

       and Analysis -- References. 
520    In the months after the contested Iranian presidential 
       election in June 2009, Iranians used Twitter--a social 
       media service that allows users to send short text 
       messages, called tweets, with relative anonymity--to speak
       out about the election and the protests and other events 
       that followed it. The authors of this report used an 
       automated content analysis program called Linguistic 
       Inquiry and Word Count 2007 (LIWC) to analyze more than 
       2.5 million tweets discussing the Iran election that were 
       sent in the nine months following it. The authors (1) 
       identify patterns in word usage over the nine-month period
       and (2) examine whether these patterns coincided with 
       political events, to gain insight into how people may have
       felt before, during, and after those events. For example, 
       they compare how the frequencies with which negative 
       sentiments were directed toward President Mahmoud 
       Ahmadinejad, his election opponents, and President Barack 
       Obama changed over time, and they track the way in which 
       the use of swear words sharply increased in the days 
       leading up to specific protests. Particularly in countries
       where freedom of expression is limited, automated analysis
       of social media appears to hold promise for such policy 
       uses as assessing public opinion or outreach efforts and 
       forecasting events such as large-scale protests.--
