A Theory-Driven Computational Method of Modeling Goals in Communication Science

This notebook applies LDA modeling to an experimental dataset investigating participants' goal inferences. The data represent textual participants’ responses of 812 participants of the questionnaire described in the paper "A Theory-Driven Computational Measure of the Goal Construct in Communication Science". Responses from a single participant are aggregated together in a single document, leaving a total of 812 documents combined in a single data set.
 

The goal of the analysis is to investigate participants’ questionnaire responses.
