首个评估视频生成模型社会推理能力的基准，揭示现有模型在深层社交理解上的不足。

Recent text-to-video generation models have made remarkable progress in visual realism, motion fidelity, and text-video alignment, yet they still struggle to produce socially coherent behavior. Unlike humans, who readily infer intentions, beliefs, emotions, and social norms from brief visual cues, current models often generate literal scenes without capturing the underlying causal and psychological dynamics. To systematically assess this limitation, we introduce the first benchmark for social reasoning in video generation. Grounded in developmental and social psychology, the benchmark covers thirty classic social cognition paradigms spanning seven core dimensions: mental-state inference, goal-directed action, joint attention, social coordination, prosocial behavior, social norms, and multi-agent strategy. To operationalize these paradigms, we build a fully training-free agent-based pipeline that distills the reasoning structure of each paradigm, synthesizes diverse video-ready scenarios, enforces conceptual neutrality and difficulty control through cue-based critique, and evaluates generated videos with a high-capacity VLM judge along five interpretable dimensions of social reasoning. Using this framework, we conduct the first large-scale evaluation of seven state-of-the-art video generation systems. Results show a clear gap between surface-level plausibility and deeper social reasoning, suggesting that current models remain limited in their ability to generate socially grounded behavior. https://github.com/Gloria2tt/SVBench-Evaluation
