Psychological Coercion Identification Dataset

Overview

A labeled dataset of 12,655 text chunks derived from 24 publicly available YouTube interview transcripts, annotated for psychological coercion techniques and PSYOP (Psychological Operations) indicators.

Built to support fine-tuning of open-source language models on coercive language detection, propaganda identification, and influence operation analysis.


Intended Uses

  • Fine-tuning NLP classifiers to detect psychological manipulation in text
  • Research into propaganda, coercion, and influence operations
  • Training content moderation systems for media literacy tools
  • Academic study of persuasion and coercive communication patterns

Technique Label Definitions

Label Definition
fear_appeal Uses fear or threat of harm to influence behavior or belief
false_dichotomy Presents only two options when more exist
loaded_language Emotionally charged words used to influence perception
repetition_conditioning Repeats phrases or ideas to normalize them over time
authority_appeal Invokes authority figures to bypass critical thinking
social_proof Implies that everyone believes or does something
scarcity_urgency Creates artificial time pressure or scarcity to force decisions
identity_targeting Exploits group identity or sense of belonging
guilt_induction Uses guilt or shame to manipulate behavior
love_bombing Overwhelming praise or affection to gain compliance
thought_termination Uses clichés or platitudes to shut down critical thinking
us_vs_them Creates in-group vs out-group division to polarize
gaslighting Causes the target to question their own perception of reality
information_control Restricts, distorts, or selectively presents information

Class Imbalance Note

This dataset reflects real-world distributions of coercive language in interview and documentary content. The 89.6% negative class majority is intentional and realistic — most speech is not overtly coercive even in content that contains manipulative elements.

When fine-tuning models on this dataset, consider:

  • Weighted loss functions (e.g. class_weight='balanced' in sklearn)
  • Oversampling the minority class (e.g. SMOTE)
  • Adjusting classification thresholds post-training

Annotation Methodology

Text chunks were annotated using Claude Haiku (claude-haiku-4-5) via the Anthropic API with a controlled vocabulary system prompt enforcing consistent label taxonomy across all 14 technique categories. Chunk size was fixed at approximately 30 words to capture sentence-level coercive patterns.

All source material consists of publicly available YouTube content. Transcripts were extracted using YT-DLP with automatic deduplication applied to remove caption overlap artifacts inherent in YouTube's ASR system.
