Structure of Basic Human Values in Russian Social Media

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2603.18822v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: What is known about the values of national populations rests almost entirely on questionnaires, which prompt respondents to rate researcher-supplied descriptions of each motivation. Social media instead records values as they are invoked spontaneously, in communication addressed to a real audience. We measure value expression in broadly sampled, heterogeneous Russian-language social-media data, where value-relevant content is sparse and often ambiguous, and read the result against the survey-based profile of the same population. To address subjectivity in value interpretation, we compare alternative LLM-prompt configurations against expert judgments and use error-driven calibration to select a theory-based operationalization.
