Abstract

Using text mining methods to analyze 112,641 tweets posted during two different time periods of the Covid-19 pandemic, this research explores the impact of three features – valence, length, and inclusion of URL – on consumer decisions to retweet, like, and reply to tweets in order to gain greater understanding of the features that drive consumer engagement during times of crisis.
