“…There are many indicators of location in a tweet, such as geotags , time zone , and profile location . Adopting the location indicators of Annamoradnejad et al (2019) for tagging each tweet to a location, we use a three-level hierarchy of location indicative according to their accuracy levels ( Kulshrestha et al, 2012 ). The first one is geotag, which gives the most accurate location information.…”

“…For this, we use the approach used by Dredze, Osborne & Kambadur (2016) where city names present in the user profile location are mapped to corresponding country names based on the Geoname ( https://pypi.org/project/geonames/ ) world gazetteer. We borrow the list of required countries from Annamoradnejad et al (2019) where authors have used a list of 22 countries, namely Arab countries, Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Colombia, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Iran, Italy, Japan, Korea, Philippines, Russia, Spain, Thailand, Turkey, UK (United Kingdom), USA(United States of America) . Arab Countries is a group of countries with a similar culture, so we merged tweets from all Arab Countries .…”

Gender-based violence (GBV) has been plaguing our society for long back. The severity of GBV has spurred research around understanding the causes and factors leading to GBV. Understanding factors and causes leading to GBV is helpful in planning and executing efficient policies to curb GBV. Past researches have claimed a country’s culture to be one of the driving reasons behind GBV. The culture of a country consists of cultural norms, societal rules, gender-based stereotypes, and social taboos which provoke GBV. These claims are supported by theoretical or small-scale survey-based research that suffers from under-representation and biases. With the advent of social media and, more importantly, location-tagged social media, huge ethnographic data are available, creating a platform for many sociological research. In this article, we also utilize huge social media data to verify the claim of confluence between GBV and the culture of a country. We first curate GBV content from different countries by collecting a large amount of data from Twitter. In order to explore the relationship between a country’s culture and GBV content, we performed correlation analyses between a country’s culture and its GBV content. The correlation results are further re-validated using graph-based methods. Through the findings of this research, we observed that countries with similar cultures also show similarity in GBV content, thus reconfirming the relationship between GBV and culture.

It consists in the so-called Facebook Social Connectedness Index (bit.ly/Facebook_SCI) publicly provided by "Data for Good at Meta" 2 organisation on "Humanitarian Data Exchange, Data for Good" platform 3 . Country-to-country values of SCI are available in TSV format for more that 34,000 pairs, updated to December 2021 [32].…”

“…Their applications in literature have been several (e.g. cross-cultural studies using Twitter data [3]), but the purpose of their inclusion in the MIMI dataset is to use them in an original way: our intention is to explore and understand their possible relation with international migration trends. Data about cultural indicators are available in different NUTS levels but in our work they only appear related to NUT0 (country) level since it is the only one that fits our geographic viewpoint.…”

Nowadays, new branches of research are proposing the use of non-traditional data sources for the study of migration trends in order to find an original methodology to answer open questions about the human mobility framework. In this context we presents the Multi-aspect Integrated Migration Indicators (MIMI) dataset, an new dataset of migration drivers, resulting from the process of acquisition, transformation and merge of both official data about international flows and stocks and original indicators not typically used in migration studies, such as online social networks. This work describes the process of gathering, embedding and merging traditional and novel features, resulting in this new multidisciplinary dataset that we believe could significantly contribute to nowcast to forecast both present and future bilateral migration trends.

“…Cross-cultural studies are also essential and valuable for identifying, analyzing, and explaining the impact of socio and cultural factors across societies. Notably, cross-cultural studies help expand and advance researchers’ and scholars’ knowledge beyond the confinements of their surrounding context and ultimately, culminate in a universal perspective on human behavior (Annamoradnejad et al, 2019).…”

This paper entails a comparative study between a country that has criminalized stalking for almost three decades (the U.S.) and a nation that just recently outlawed the phenomenon (Spain). Employing a sample of American and Spanish university students, we examined the prevalence and types of stalking behaviors and victims’ emotional responses to their victimization. We also explored whether experiencing a particular category of stalking behaviors (i.e., surveillance and approach stalking) triggers specific emotional responses similarly among American and Spanish victims. We found more than two-thirds (36%) of the Spanish students ( n = 638) and almost half (48%) of the American students ( n = 411) reported that they have experienced the unwanted or intrusive behaviors included in our study. We also found relative to Spanish victims, American victims were significantly more likely to encounter approach stalking and report feeling anxious, angry, depressed, sick, and suicidal as a result of their victimization. Implications of our findings and directions for future research are discussed.
