  • 基于社会学理论构建多语言对话权力分析框架
  • 采集15,836条法语与埃及阿拉伯语对话语料并标注
  • 发现模型在心理推理和关系理解上仍显著落后于人类

社会权力深刻影响人际互动,但现有计算研究多局限于特定语言与文化背景。现有数据集亦缺乏足够的种族与关系维度以支撑稳健的跨文化分析。为弥补这一缺口,本文提出一个基于社会科学研究理论的多语言对话权力分析框架,依托电影剧本开展自然语境研究。该框架整合社会学理论指导的结构化模式、经过预研优化的母语者标注流程,以及支持跨语言扩展的定制化界面。利用该框架,我们构建了首个包含15,836个标注实例的语料库,涵盖100个法语与埃及阿拉伯语电影场景。分析显示,可观察的族裔与情境属性达成较高共识,而权力不对称性与意图一致性等社会解释性维度则存在较大争议,凸显跨文化社会权力的复杂性。我们评估了6个大语言模型(LLMs)与多模态大模型在跨文化社会权力推理任务中的表现,结果表明模型在关系推断与心智理论层面的人机一致性仍存在显著差距。本工作首次建立可扩展的多语言对话权力研究框架,并提供初始评估基准,推动跨文化社会推理研究发展。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Social power plays a fundamental role in shaping human interaction, yet computational studies of power remain limited to narrow linguistic and cultural settings. Existing datasets further lack the demographic and relational depth needed for robust cross-cultural analysis. To address this gap, we introduce a theoretically grounded framework for studying social power in naturalistic multilingual dialogue through movie screenplays. The framework integrates a schema informed by social science theory, a native speaker annotation pipeline refined through pilot studies, and a custom interface for scalable cross-lingual analysis. Using this framework, we constructed an initial corpus containing 15,836 annotated instances from 100 scenes in French and Egyptian Arabic movies. Our analysis reveals strong agreement on observable demographic and contextual attributes, while socially interpretive aspects, such as power asymmetry and intention alignment, remain more contested, highlighting the complexity of social power across cultures. We evaluated 6 Large Language Models (LLMs) and Multimodal LLMs on cross-cultural social power reasoning, finding persistent gaps between human and model agreement in relational and theory-of-mind reasoning. Our work introduces the first extensible multilingual framework for studying social power in dialogues and provides an initial evaluation setting for studying cross-cultural social reasoning.
