Hey, I was just wondering if I could get some advice on which scoring option to choose for my research. I am analysing newspaper coverage about the issue of loss & damage (compensation for climate change-related damages).
I understand from the tutorial that it's not advisable to use the 'all probabilities' option as I want to determine which foundations are more or less represented in the articles. That leaves me with option 2 and 4. I'm not sure whether sentiment scores or vice-virtue scores will be more useful for my purpose.
So the sentiment scores range from -1 to 1. What about the vice and virtue scores? It looks like they're always positive. So do they range from 0 to 1?
What's the benefit of having a foundation probability in addition to the sentiment score? Why does the output for vice-virtue not also include foundation probabilities?
Lastly, if I want to calculate the average sentiment score per foundation per newspaper, would it be an issue that some are negative and others are positive? Would python or R automatically square them to prevent the scores from cancelling each other out?
Apologies for my absolute beginner questions. I'd be grateful for any advice and opinions. Thanks a lot!
