As a former Preschool Teacher, part of my ongoing education was to gain more credentials in Early Childhood Education which led me to focus on a key developmental milestone: Social and Emotional Skills.
Learning this subject matter and how to utilize tools for teaching my class was the catalyst for my new found interest and hobby in emotional intelligence and human behavior.
Over a person’s life, new experiences shape social and emotional skills like a ripple effect in water.
Thus, my curiosity in how Twitter users express themselves on the social media platform. 💬

In my capstone presentation for Nashville Software School, I answer these data questions:
- What types of emotions do Twitter users tweet about more often?
- Do users have a wide emotional vocabulary for describing their feelings?
- Does the type of emotional expression affect the length of a tweet?
