“…Although traditional framing studies have generally used human coders to identify dominant frames in news articles, the approach is subjective and time-consuming [ 41 , 42 ]. Since the 1990s, when digital technologies first began to take off, a lot of news content has accumulated, necessitating automated frame detection [ 43 ]. A group of machine learning algorithms known as automated content analysis are used often in medical research and social sciences and to synthesize both qualitative and quantitative data from large bodies of text [ 44 ].…”

Framing of COVID-19 in Newspapers: A Perspective from the US-Mexico Border

The degree to which the media report a health emergency affects the seriousness with which the people respond to combat the health crisis. Engagement from local newspapers in the US has received scant scrutiny, even though there is a sizable body of scholarship on the analysis of COVID-19 news. We fill this void by focusing on the Rio Grande Valley area of the US-Mexico border. To understand the differences, we compared such local news coverage with the coverage of a national news outlet. After collecting the relevant news articles, we used sentiment analysis, rapid automatic keyword extraction (RAKE), and co-occurrence network analysis to examine the main themes and sentiments of COVID-19 news articles. The RAKE identified that county-specific news or local regulations are more prevalent among the key terms in The Monitor which are absent in USA Today. The co-occurrence network shows the coverage of the disruption of sports season in USA Today which is not present in The Monitor. The sentiment analysis presents fear emotion is more dominant in USA Today, but trust emotion becomes more prevalent in The Monitor news coverage. These findings show us that, although the subject of the health emergency is the same, local and national newspapers describe it in different ways, and the sentiments they convey are also not the same.

“…It illustrates the relationships among the words in text data based on the Jaccard coefficient (Romesburg, 1984), which is an index indicating co-occurrence frequency. Co-occurrence network analysis using the Jaccard coefficient is used, for example, to organize the content of texts used in various media and to interpret overall trends (e.g., Chen et al, 2021). The Jaccard coefficient value ranges from 0 to 1, and the closer the value is to the latter, the stronger the association between the two sets of words, A and B.…”

The occurrence of mind wandering (MW) leads to lower performance on memory tasks related to lecture contents in educational settings, which has been recognized as problematic. To date, several dispositional factors have been reported as being associated with MW. This study investigated whether another psychological component—life skills—is linked to MW. Specifically, it clarified the relationship between life skills and two types of MW: state MW (occurs while performing a given task) and trait MW (occurs subjectively in daily life), using a sample of university students. From the perspective of cognitive and emotional control functions, life skills are thought to be related to the occurrence of MW. In addition to common questionnaire surveys, by recording and analyzing the participants' self-reports for MW occurrence during the experimental task, we clarified not only the quantitative associations among the variables but also the qualitative differences. Multiple regression analysis for the data from 53 students showed that decision-making and coping-with-emotion skills are negatively related to the occurrence of mind wandering. The qualitative data additionally revealed that participants with high decision-making skills are more likely than those with low decision-making skills to attempt to maintain their concentration on the task by thinking about task execution. These results suggest that life skills are associated with MW and that the ability to inhibit MW may be enhanced by improving life skills because they comprise acquired, learnable behaviors and attitudes. Life skills training may help in reducing students' MW in educational contexts.
