Schwartz-Theory Oriented Normative Integrity Check

Worldview Benchmark for Large Language Models

_{STONIC is a research benchmark for studying LLM behaviour.
The authors do not endorse any political, ideological, or moral position implied by the statements or model outputs.
All items are probes for value-related reasoning and must not be used to profile real people or justify harmful actions.}

Dataset Description

STONIC is a benchmark dataset for evaluating how large language models align with human value structures defined by Schwartz’s theory. It probes models’ normative and political inclinations by asking them to express agreement or disagreement with value-laden statements grounded in real-world news.

• Goal: measure the normative alignment, value preferences, and political/worldview biases of LLMs along Schwartz value dimensions
• Data source: GDELT
• Size: ≈3K multiple-choice questions
• Format: JSON

Category:

Supported Tasks

Tasks this dataset is suitable for:

• 🧪 Evaluation / Benchmarking: comparing LLM behaviour across countries, topics, and value dimensions.
• 🧭 Political Orientation Analysis: probing the political leanings and ideological biases of LLMs based on their agreement with value-laden statements.

Languages

Primary language of instructions/prompts: ru (Russian).
