Özet:

 Twitter is one of the major social media actor where the agenda of society is reflected. After the Central Banks interest rate decision, Twitter users shared tweets about macroeconomic and emotional situations. The research aims to determine the macroeconomic agenda and emotional situation with a longitudinal research by analyzing the tweets on Twitter about the interest rate decision of the Central Bank. Tweets between 23 June 2022 09:00 a.m. and 25 June 2022 21:00 a.m. were included, and a total of 1050 tweets were captured and 443 tweets were examined. MAXQDA, a qualitative data analysis program, was used to analyze tweets,. emotions and macroeconomic variables regarding the interest rate decision were analyzed using the Plutchik Emotion Wheel. When the tweets were examined, it was determined that the inflation, interest, and foreign currency trio were the most common macroeconomic variables. It has been found that the main emotions regarding the interest rate decision are intensified in the form of anger, disgust, and fear. In addition to the negative basic emotions, the secondary emotions are discomfort, distress, anxiety, acceptance, and calmness, which are felt most intensely. The findings hold significant potential to contribute both to literature and to policy makers who are in charge of taking regulatory actions.

 Twitter, toplum gundeminin yansıtıldıgı onemli sosyal medya platformlarından biridir. Merkez Bankası Para Politikası Kurulu tarafından açıklanan faiz kararı ile birlikte Twitterda yapılan paylasımlarda kullanıcıların makroekonomik degerlendirmeleri ve duygu durumları yer almaktadır. Bu calısma, Merkez Bankasının 23 Haziran 2022 tarihli faizi sabit tutma kararının ardından Twitter verilerinin taranması ve içerik analizi yapılarak incelenmesini kapsamaktadır. Çalışma, Merkez Bankası faiz kararı sonrası Twitter kullanıcılarının faiz kararına ilişkin bakıs acılarını ortaya koymayı ve makroekonomik değişkenler ile duygu durumları arasındaki ilişkileri incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. 23 Haziran saat 09:00 ile 25 Haziran 2022 saat 21:00 arasında atılan 1050 tweet calısmanın evrenini olusturmaktadır. Faiz kararına ilişkin örneklem 443 tweete indirgenerek makine tabanlı öğrenim yöntemi ile kodlanmıştır. Çalışmada MAXQDA nitel veri analiz programı kullanılarak, faiz kararına ilişkin duygu durumları ve makroekonomik değerlendirmeler Plutchik Duygu Çarkı ile analiz edilmiştir. Faiz kararı ile ilgili tweet içerikleri incelendiginde makroekonomik değişkenler olarak en fazla enflasyon, faiz, döviz üçlüsünün yer aldığı belirlenmiştir. Faiz kararına yönelik öne çıkan temel duyguların ise öfke, tiksinme ve korku şeklinde yoğunlaştığı tespit edilmiştir. Olumsuz temel duygulara ilaveten ikincil duygulardan rahatsızlık, sıkıntı, kaygı, kabulleniş ve sükûnet en yoğun hissedilen duygulardır. Araştırma kapsamında sunulan bulguların ekonominin gereksinim ve beklentilerine yönelik kamuoyu verisi elde etmede fayda saglaması ve para politikası kararları alınırken ek veri seti olarak degerlendirimesi öngörülmektedir.
