Outline Introduction Method Result Summary
LIWC
Expression of emotions
• Natural conversation contains almost twice as many positive
than negative emotion words
• Previous work on al-Qaida texts showed a higher relative
degree of negative emotion words, mostly anger

3rd person plural
• Frequent use of third person plural (they, them etc) in a
group suggests that the group is defining itself to a large
degree by the existence of an oppositional group
• A strong indicator of negative identification with an outgroup
is a precursor of terrorism
