Palavras-chave:
political distrust, opinion leaders, Twitter, text as dataResumo
A desconfiança política é um elemento crucial para a sobrevivência da democracia. Enquanto representa o direito dos cidadãos de questionar algumas irregularidades, também pode representar a percepção dos cidadãos de que a democracia falhou, cortando seus laços com processos e os agentes políticos. Dados recentes mostram que os níveis mais baixos de confiança entre os brasileiros estavam nas instituições políticas. Mas, assim como os políticos profissionais, atores como jornalistas, celebridades e youtubers também parecem influenciar o que as pessoas pensam sobre política. Quando considerados como líderes de opinião, eles têm acesso a grandes audiências. No entanto, políticos e líderes de opinião podem ter incentivos diferentes para expressar sua opinião online. Este artigo tem como objetivo responder à seguinte pergunta: líderes de opinião expressam mais desconfiança nas instituições políticas do que elites políticas tradicionais no Twitter? Comparamos tweets de ambos os grupos.
