Attitudinal Modeling of Affect, Behavior and Cognition: Semantic Mining of Disaster Text Corpus

Abstract

This document presents an investigation into the attitudes of disaster experience from text corpora of narratives and reports. Attitude is made up of three components: Affect, Behavior, and Cognition (ABC). The narratives comprised personal stories obtained from Internet blogs, and the reports were research and media articles about people's experiences derived from digital libraries. This study identifies the semantics of disaster experience for development of hybrid ontologies that may be used to model attitudes in the face of disasters. Different disaster scenarios revealed different mapping relationships of ABC.
