Smartphone tweets more likely to be egocentric
Tweets posted from smartphones are more likely to be egocentric and use negative language than non-mobile device tweets, researchers, including one of Indian-origin, have found.
Researchers conducted an analysis of tweets to see if presentations of self are more likely to be more egocentric, negative/positive, gendered or communal based on whether users were on a mobile device or using a web based platform.

Dhiraj Murthy from Goldsmiths, University of London, Sawyer Bowman from Bowdoin College, Alexander J Gross and Marisa McGarry from University of Maine collected 235 million tweets over the course of six weeks. Ninety per cent of the top sources to access Twitter were coded to denote mobile, non-mobile and mixed sources.
Drawing from social psychological methods, they then studied language use in tweets by analysing the frequency and ratios of words traditionally associated with social and behavioural characteristics. The researchers found that mobile tweets are not only more egocentric in language than any other group, but that the ratio of egocentric to non-egocentric tweets is consistently greater for mobile tweets than from non-mobile sources.
They did not find that mobile tweets were particularly gendered. Regardless of platform, tweets tended to employ words traditionally associated as masculine. "Very little work has been done comparing how our social media activities vary from mobile to non-mobile. And as we increasingly use social media from mobile devices, the context in which one uses social media is a critical object of study," said Murthy.

"Our work is transformative in this understudied field as we found that not all tweets are the same and the source of tweets does influence tweeting patterns, like how we are more likely to tweet with negative language from mobile devices than from web-based ones," he said.
