My analyses focused on whether word usage within these threads, from 2017-2021, was positive or negative. The average level of positivity vs. negativity — often referred to as the “valence” — was scored using VADER, a language processing tool designed for online settings. Valence was averaged separately for wins and losses, then averaged again to generate a team’s overall valence score; this procedure controls for a team’s loss rate, and thus low scores do not simply reflect that a team frequently loses.
