Average happiness scores for each community. The average happiness scores weighted by the word count for each community for communities with at least 15 words are shown in the plot. The set of communities on the left is for the original backboned network, while the one on the right is for the same network but with the scores shuffled among the nodes. Whereas the “favor”, “against”, and “all” communities in the original backboned network show different ranges, the shuffled score version gives similar ranges for the communities in the three corpora, indicating that the score profiles found in communities are not random. The dashed line is the average happiness of all the words in the backbone, the dotted line is the average happiness of all the words in the raw network, and the dash-dot line gives the average happiness of the raw network if nodes with scores in the range (4, 6) are excluded. The size of each symbol is proportional to the total word counts of all the words in that community; note that with the backboning this is no longer necessarily correlated with the degree. The colors indicate the community labels; smaller communities than A–I are all labeled “other”
