Welcome to My Personal Website!

I am Daniel Goralczyk, a recent graduate from the University of Konstanz with a Master’s degree in Politics and Public Administration.

My thesis, entitled “Navigating Ideological Impact: Exploring Negativity Bias on YouTube,” examines the factors influencing the viewership of U.S. Senators’ YouTube videos. Using the pre-trained RoBERTa language model, I performed sentiment analysis on video captions to determine the level of positivity or negativity expressed. The results provide compelling evidence for the existence of a negativity bias that enhances audience engagement. For more details, please visit the “Thesis” tab.
