Public Anxiety Around Monkeypox Outbreak: Detecting Emotional Distress From Bangla Instagram Posts

This dataset introduces a novel collection of Instagram posts related to Monkeypox, focusing on anxiety detection in Bangla language. Due to the scarcity of publicly available data on Monkeypox reactions in Bangla, around 2,000 posts, including 638 Bangla posts and 1,362 English posts (translated into Bangla), were gathered from hashtags like #Monkeypox, #Mpox, and others. The posts, published between January and July 2024, were labeled into two classes—non-anxiety and anxiety—verified by professional psychologists. The final dataset contains 791 anxiety samples and 783 non-anxiety samples, offering a balanced resource for further research.本数据集收录了一批与猴痘（Monkeypox）相关的Instagram帖文，聚焦孟加拉语（Bangla）语境下的焦虑检测任务。鉴于公开可获取的孟加拉语猴痘相关情绪反应数据较为匮乏，研究人员从#Monkeypox、#Mpox等话题标签下采集了约2000条帖文，其中包含638条原生孟加拉语帖文，以及1362条经孟加拉语翻译的英语帖文。这批帖文发布于2024年1月至7月之间，经专业心理学家标注审核，被划分为非焦虑与焦虑两个类别。最终数据集包含791条焦虑样本与783条非焦虑样本，可为后续研究提供均衡的标注资源。
