23
Q

Schweidel and Moe (2014) demonstrates online venues

(e.g., blogs, forums, social networks, micro-blogs) differ in:

A

 Extent of social interaction
 Amount of information
 Audience attracted
 Focal product/attributes
 Develop a joint model of brand sentiment and venue format
choice
 Unstructured data: sentiment and topics are manually coded

24
Q

Results show “significant variation in average sentiment across venue formats, highlighting

A

the importance of separating the effects of venue format from any sentiment measure”

25
Q

Tucker (2015) tackles the question

A

whether “popular” contents are effective contents in driving sales

26
Q

Crowd sourced persuasiveness measure

A

“by randomly exposing half of these consumers to a video ad and half to a similar placebo video ad, and then surveying their attitudes towards the focal product”

27
Q

Video ads designed to be “viral” are in general

A

less persuasive

28
Q

relative ad persuasiveness is on average

A

10% lower for every one million views that the video ads achieve

29
Q

Exceptions are ads that

A

generated views and large number of comments, and ads that attracted comments that mentioned the product by name.

These ads tend to be perceived as “funny” rather than
“outrageous”.

30

35
Q

Li and Xie (2020) Research Findings

A

 Processing unstructured data
SVM to exact topics and sentiment from text content
 Google vision API and manual coding to extract information from
imagery content
 Manual coding to determine the relevancy between text content and
imagery content
Modeling: zero-inflated bivariate negative binomial model

36
Q

How to make people pay attention and engage with your content? What should we do to figure out the type of content (e.g., content features) that make people pay attention and engage with your content

A

Lab or field experiment

37
Q

Component of an Experiment

A

(At least) one independent variable
 Independent variable is what experiment
manipulates

(At least) one dependent variable
 Dependent variable is what researcher is interested
in explaining

(At least) one manipulation
 Independent variables are manipulated in some
systematic way

38
Q

(__ __) causes a change in (__ __) and it
isn’t possible that (__ __) could cause a change in
(__ __).

A

Independent variable

dependent variable

dependent variable

independent variable

39
Q

A/B testing

A

one independent variable with no more than two levels or aspects and one manipulation

40
Q

Factorial design requires us to

A

figure out potential interactions between independent variables

41
Q

Factorial Designs

A

Allows for manipulation of two or more independent variables
at the same time
Each variable has two or more levels or aspects
Allow to test main effects as well as interactions.

42
Q

A main effect in Factorial Designs

A

is the separate influence of each IV on the DV

43
Q

Interaction occurs (in Factorial Designs) when

A

the simultaneous effect of two or more IVs is different from the sum of their independent effects.

44
Q

Using observational data

A

Start with your own social audit: Go back in the past and look at everything you posted on your
various social media accounts in the last 3-6 months

Conduct a social audit on your competitors: Look at everything they posted on various social media accounts in the last 3-6 months and ask the same questions

45
Q

Independent variables (things you control)

A

 Content features
 Posting time
 Promoted or not
 Posting platform

46
Q

Dependent variables (feedback received)

A
 Views
 Likes
 Shares
 Comments: counts, sentiment, topics
 Engagement rates
47
Q

Construct a regression model to

A

figure out the type of content (e.g., content features) that tend to receive higher engagement
 Helps us predict the engagement level of a specific
post

48
Q

Correlation:

A

measuring the closeness of the relationship or

joint variation between two variables

49
Q

Regression:

A

derive an equation that relates the dependent variable to one or more independent variables
 Correlation ≠ Causation

50
Q

Correlation only measures

A

the nature and degree of association or co-variation between variables.

51
Q

Estimation method:

A

Ordinary least squares (OLS).

Parameters are estimated from the sample data so that the sum of squared errors is minimized.
