| ## Description |
| <u>**The Cultural and Moral Expressions in Language (CAMEL)**</u> corpus is a dataset of more than **57000 texts** gathered from multiple sources including Reddit, X (Twitter), Wikipedia, and other relevant text datasets. This dataset was prepared by the **Culture and Morality Lab (CaM-L)** at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.

| Each piece of text has been annotated by at least three human annotators. The annotators received intensive training in recognizing **25 constructs** related to cultural and social psychology. Examples of the key constructs include <u>moral foundations</u> ([Haidt & Joseph, 2004](https://www.jstor.org/stable/20027945); [Atari et al., 2023](https://doi.org/10.1037/pspp0000470)), <u>kinship</u> ([Schulz et al., 2019](https://doi.org/10.1126/science.aau5141)), and <u>cultural tightness-looseness</u> ([Gelfand, Nishii, & Raver, 2006](https://doi.org/10.1037/0021-9010.91.6.1225)). |
| Please note that the dataset contains offensive or hateful language as well, which has been annotated in the appropriate category. |
