Title of the lecture: Big Data and Social/Cultural Psychology
Abstract: The analysis of big data can stimulate existing research activities by making full use of huge amounts of data, and can also make possible research problems that have been difficult to solve with conventional social science research methods. How will the development of big data analysis and data science benefit research in social and cultural psychology? In this talk, I will first review representative research cases in social and cultural psychology using big data. Then I will discuss the benefits of big data analysis in cultural psychology, especially in the study of cultural change, using our own research as an example. Specifically, I will introduce our attempts to analyze the evolution of inter-group relationships (Study 1) and the long-term evolution of anxiety (Study 2) using big data.
