+ ## Dataset Summary
20
+ This dataset comprises carefully selected questions about human value preferences from major social surveys:
21
+
22
+ - **[World Values Survey (WVS-2023)](https://www.worldvaluessurvey.org/wvs.jsp)**: A global network of social scientists studying changing values and their impact on social and political life.
23
+ - **[General Social Survey (GSS-2022)](https://gss.norc.org/About-The-GSS)**: A survey of American adults monitoring trends in opinions, attitudes, and behaviors towards demographic, behavioral, and attitudinal questions, plus topics of special interest.
24
+ - **[Chinese General Social Survey (CGSS-2018)](http://cgss.ruc.edu.cn/English/Home.htm)**: The earliest nationwide and continuous academic survey in China collecting data at multiple levels of society, community, family, and individual.
25
+ - **[Ipsos Understanding Society survey](https://www.ipsos.com/en-uk/understanding-society)**: The preeminent online probability-based panel that accurately represents the adult population of the United States.
26
+ - **[American Trends Panel](https://www.pewresearch.org/our-methods/u-s-surveys/the-american-trends-panel/)**: A nationally representative online survey panel, consisting of over 10,000 randomly selected adults from across the United States.
27
+ - **[USA Today/Ipsos Poll](https://doi.org/10.25940/ROPER-31120147)**: Surveys a diverse group of 1,023 adults aged 18 or older, including 311 Democrats, 290 Republicans, and 312 independents.
28
+ - **[Chinese Social Survey](http://css.cssn.cn/css\_sy/)**: Longitudinal surveys focus on labor and employment, family and social life, and social attitudes.
29
+
30
+ The data supports research described in: [Towards Realistic Evaluation of Cultural Value Alignment in Large Language Models: Diversity Enhancement for Survey Response Simulation]()
31
+
32
+ ## Purpose
33
+ This dataset enables:
34
+ 1. Evaluation of LLMs' cultural value alignment through survey response simulation
35
+ 2. Comparison of model-generated preference distributions against human reference data
36
+ 3. Analysis of how model architecture and training choices impact value alignment
37
+ 4. Cross-cultural comparison of value preferences between U.S. and Chinese populations

67
+ ## Limitations and Considerations
68
+ - Surveys were not originally designed for LLM evaluation
69
+ - Cultural context and temporal changes may affect interpretation
70
+ - Response patterns may vary across demographics and regions
71
+ - Limited construct validity when applied to artificial intelligence
