Climate campaigns on X raise happiness by 9.02 points, reduce action language
A new study published on arXiv examined 364,118 public X posts from climate‑related events over 19 years. Researchers used a weighted lexical model to estimate happiness, hope, collective capability, distress and action language. They found that during event periods happiness prevalence was 9.02 percentage points higher than the pre‑event baseline, but action language fell by 10.75 points. The…
