# A Twitter-Based Comparative Analysis of Emotions and
## 5 Discussion
### Sentiment Analysis  
Regarding sentiment analysis, Figure 6 depicts another view of Figure 4, where we sentiments are reclassified as neutral vs. emotional. According to Figure 6, Arabic speakers are more emotional than Hispanics (Arabic: 50% vs. Spanish: 28%). As we demonstrate in the material that follows, this is consistent with the literature.  
In [28], a seven-dimensional cultural model, one of which is the neutral vs. affective (emotional) dimension, was presented. In a neutral social culture, people tend to keep their emotions to themselves, whereas, in an affective (emotional) culture, emotions are normal and public, as people have a tendency to express them. This is not to say that people in neutral cultures lack feelings and emotions; it simply suggests differences in how emotions are expressed in public. Using a continuum ranging from neutral to affective, the author describes which cultures are willing to express negative emotions at work.  
Figure 7 shows a comparison between some nations using the neutral vs. emotional Hampden-Turner dimension model. Figure 7 shows that Arabs, represented by Saudi Arabia because the majority of Arab football fans watching the match under discussion were likely to be Saudis, are more emotional than Hispanics, represented by Argentina, since the majority of Spanish-speaking football fans watching the match were likely to be Argentinians. This matches with our results, as demonstrated in Figure 6, and, at the same time, it can be seen as a sign that the machine translation did not destroy the sentimental contexts of the tweets, but rather preserved them to some extent.

**Emotion** & **Arousal** & **Arab** & **Spanish** & **Consistency** \\ \hline amusement & High arousal & 22.28\% & 44.44\% & consistent \\ admiration & Low arousal & 15.11\% & 8.08\% & consistent \\ sadness & Low arousal & 14.13\% & 6.06\% & consistent \\ joy & High arousal & 8.80\% & 6.06\% & no \\ excitement & High arousal & 7.50\% & 0.00\% & no \\ gratitude & Low arousal & 4.89\% & 0.00\% & consistent \\ approval &? & 3.26\% & 2.02\% &? \\ caring &? & 3.26\% & 3.03\% &? \\ love & Low arousal & 3.26\% & 0.00\% & consistent \\ confusion &? & 3.04\% & 11.11\% &? \\ anger & High arousal & 2.61\% & 4.04\% & consistent \\ surprise & High arousal & 0 & 3.03\% & consistent \\ annoyance & High arousal & 0 & 5.05\% & consistent \\ desire &? & 0 & 2.02\% &? \\ \hline \hline \end{tabular}

However, it is important to note that various emotions were examined [29] in five different countries. It was found that those from more collective societies were more likely to exhibit emotion-suppressing behaviors, such as gaze aversion, facial concealing, or controlled smiling. This reveals that the sentimental disparities between Arabic and Spanish speakers were not congruent with their respective affective vs. neutral social contexts, which contradicts the revelations of the Hampden-Turner dimension model above. However, methods such as ours might be applied to favor one of the two viewpoints over the other.
