Identifying and Managing Ruminative Expressions in Negative Reviews

We use text mining techniques to detect expressions of rumination—repeated negative thoughts—in online reviews. Using topic modeling and sentiment analysis, we demonstrate that three independent dimensions of rumination have separate negative impacts on sales. Management responses expressing empathy and offering compensation decrease these negative impacts.
