Coding of Tweets for Content Analysis. Entirely conducted by non-profit academic institute (part of a social science project). Require coders who love reading Tweets and have quick eyes and fingers.
--------------------------------------------
A brief (abridged version) of the instructions is provided below. There will be 5 coders in total. Coding that's accurate (gauged as similar to at least 2 other coders for 85% of all the entries) will be considered of good quality. Should you have any question, feel free to contact me at the above email.
Main Task: Read Twitter or Facebook Entry --> Code each entry based on 4 dimensions
How to Code?
Four questions are asked about each entry. Choose only one option for each question (clicking on more than one option for any single question will render the entry void). Four questions and its options (note: the bold are options shown on the screen, the middle phrase is the description of that option, and the single letter/digit at the end is the shortcut key created for coding convenience) are:
1. Is the entry referring to an opinion, the author’s own experience, or other people’s experience?
