Abstract

The purpose is to propose a Dictionary of Emotions in Finance, composed of words that detect the presence or not of emotions - Joy, Fear, Anger, Disgust, Surprise and Sadness - in financial texts. It started from the Dictionary of Positive and Negative Feelings in Finance, available in English, which was translated into Portuguese. Following, experts in Finance and Psychology have allocated the terms from the translation to six basic emotions studied. Finally, the software Tropes was adjusted to incorporate the dictionary expressions, allowing the detection of emotion in financial texts in electronic form. The present study constructs a Dictionary of Emotion Terms in Financial Text, composed of 301 expressions of Joy; 155 of Fear; 136 of rabies; 109 of Disgust; 70 of Surprise; and 233 of Sadness, which can be used to detect and quantify emotions in financial reporting.
