What do the themes of the Universal model correspond to?
In Vocaza Journey, an emotion/opinion can be defined as the synthesis of the concept expressed in a positive or negative extract from a comment.
For example, in the comment ‘the advisor was friendly, but your rates are too high’, the emotions/opinions would be ‘friendly’ and ‘high cost’.
The advantage of these emotions/opinions is that they do not depend on the business sector to which the comment belongs, unlike so-called ‘sector-based’ semantic analysis plans.
Of all these emotions/opinions, most work in ‘pairs’: this means that identifying a positive emotion implies also being able to identify its negative antagonist.
For example, if we can identify ‘speed’, we must also identify ‘slowness’. The same applies to ‘competence’ and ‘incompetence’, ‘sympathy’ and ‘antipathy’, or ‘attention’ and ‘neglect’... and many others.
The themes of the universal model can be considered as universal consumer needs.
The generic themes / consumer needs we propose are as follows:
