Mapping how LLMs debate societal issues when shadowing human personality traits, sociodemographics and social media behavior

Large Language Models (LLMs) can strongly shape social discourse, yet datasets investigating how LLM outputs vary across controlled social and contextual prompting remain sparse. Cognitive Digital Shadows (CDS) is a 190,000-record synthetic corpus supporting analyses of LLM-generated discourse. Each CDS record is generated by one of 19 LLMs, prompted to shadow either a human persona or an AI-assistant role. CDS contains LLM responses on 4 controversial societal topics: vaccines/healthcare, social media disinformation, the gender gap in science, and STEM stereotypes. Persona-conditioned records encode 17 sociodemographic and psychological attributes, providing data linking LLMs' prompts, language, stances and reasoning. Texts are validated for topic anchoring and can support emotional analyses via interpretable NLP (e.g. textual forma mentis networks). CDS is enriched by a pooling platform with user-friendly dashboards, enabling easy, interactive group-level comparisons of emotional and semantic framing across personas, topics and models. The CDS prompting framework supports future audits of LLMs' bias, social sensitivity and alignment.

Math Education Digital Shadows for facilitating learning with LLMs: Math performance, anxiety and confidence in simulated students and AIs

To enhance LLMs' impact on math education, we need data on their mathematical prowess and biases across prompts. To fill this gap, we introduce MEDS (Math Education Digital Shadows) as a dataset mapping how large language models reason about and report mathematics across human- and AI-like conditions. MEDS involves 28,000 personas from 14 LLMs (from families like Mistral, Qwen, DeepSeek, Granite, Phi and Grok) shadowing either humans or AI assistants. Each record/shadow includes a set of prompts along with psychological/sociodemographic persona metadata and four types of math tasks: (i) open math interview, (ii) three psychometric tests about math perceptions with explanations, (iii) cognitive networks capturing math attitudes, and (iv) 18 high-school math test questions together with their reasoning and confidence scores. MEDS differs from traditional score-only math benchmarks because it integrates concepts of self-efficacy, math anxiety, and cognitive network science besides math proficiency scores. Data validation shows that the sampled LLMs exhibit schema integrity and consistent personas, together with family-specific peculiarities like human-like negative math attitudes, logical fallacies, and math overconfidence. MEDS will benefit learning analytics experts, cognitive scientists, and developers of safer AI tutors in mathematics.

The TEA Nets framework combines AI and cognitive network science to model targets, events and actors in text

We introduce Target-Event-Agent Networks (TEA Nets) as a computational framework to extract subjects (``Agents"), verbs (``Events"), and objects (``Targets") from texts. Grounded in cognitive network science and artificial intelligence, TEA Nets are implemented as an open-source Python library. We test TEA Nets in three case studies, demonstrating the framework's ability to perform interpretable emotion detection, semantic frame analyses, and linguistic inquiries across conspiracy texts and textual responses generated by LLMs. In the LOCO conspiracy corpus, TEA Nets revealed that highly conspiratorial narratives (4,227 texts) linked personal pronouns (``I", ``you", ``we") with the same actions twice as frequently as low-similarity conspiracy narratives. High-conspiracy narratives connected person-focused elements (``you", ``people") through actions eliciting anger above the random baseline ($z = 2.63, p < .05$), a trend absent in low-similarity conspiracy narratives, which emphasized scientific actors (``researcher", ``scientist"). In the HOPE and CounseLLMe datasets of 212 (human) and 200 (LLM-based) psychotherapy transcripts, respectively, TEA Nets highlighted emotional differences. When expressing feelings, Claude 3 Haiku, GPT-3.5, and humans used sad words with higher frequency than random expectations but Haiku expressed sadness with lower emotional intensity than humans ($U = 1243.5, p = .036$). We discuss these differences in the context of psychotherapy training on LLM-simulated patients. Our results show that Target-Event-Agent Networks can extract relevant emotional, syntactic, and semantic insights from narratives, opening new avenues for text analysis with cognitive network science.
