| contents | In this study, we constructed an emotion index that quantitatively represents the collective emotions present in the Japanese web space by utilizing Social Networking Service (SNS) post data. Building upon previous research that used blog data and the Profile of Mood States (POMS), we restructured the methodology using posts from X (formerly Twitter) and updated the model by adding the ``Friendliness" indicator from the POMS2 metrics. Through periodic and trend analyses of the emotional indicators derived from X's post data, we found that the extension is consistent with results previously reported using blog data. This suggests that our methodology effectively captures typical emotional fluctuations in Japanese society, independent of specific SNS platforms, and is expected to serve as an index to visualize societal trends. |
