Data and Analysis Materials for "Exposure-Adjusted Count Modelling of Hedging in Diplomatic Discourse: Geopolitical Variation in U.S. Press Briefings"
Year: 2026
Type: dataset
Abstract: This dataset contains the derived analytical data and supporting materials for the study “Exposure-Adjusted Count Modelling of Hedging in Diplomatic Discourse: Geopolitical Variation in U.S. Press Briefings”. The study examines variation in contextually validated Engagement hedge rates across eight geopolitical issues in U.S. Department of State press briefings. The public analytical dataset contains 765 journalist-elicited answer sequences from 49 contributing briefings, comprising 128,223 words and 1,968 validated Engagement hedges (1,883 Entertain and 85 contextually expansive Attribute instances). The deposited materials include the final answer-sequence-level modelling dataset, data dictionary, descriptive and inferential statistical outputs, and Python code for reproducing the principal Poisson, negative binomial, GEE, and multiplicity analyses. The analytical dataset excludes full journalist questions and answer transcripts. Original press briefing transcripts are publicly available from the U.S. Department of State and associated archival sources. The dataset supports the quantitative analyses reported in the associated manuscript, including exposure-adjusted count modelling, model diagnostics, issue-specific incidence rate ratios, adjusted sensitivity analyses, negative binomial GEE estimates, and exploratory pairwise comparisons with multiplicity correction.
