  ### Dataset Summary
66
 
67
+ Moral framing and sentiment can affect a variety of online and offline behaviors, including donation, environmental action, political engagement, and protest.
68
+ Various computational methods in Natural Language Processing (NLP) have been used to detect moral sentiment from textual data, but achieving strong performance
69
+ in such subjective tasks requires large, hand-annotated datasets. Previous corpora annotated for moral sentiment have proven valuable, and have generated new insights
70
+ both within NLP and across the social sciences, but have been limited to Twitter. To facilitate improving our understanding of the role of moral rhetoric, we present the
71
+ Moral Foundations Reddit Corpus, a collection of 16,123 English Reddit comments that have been curated from 12 distinct subreddits, hand-annotated by at least three
72
+ trained annotators for 8 categories of moral sentiment (i.e., Care, Proportionality, Equality, Purity, Authority, Loyalty, Thin Morality, Implicit/Explicit Morality)
73
+ based on the updated Moral Foundations Theory (MFT) framework.

We evaluate baselines using large language models (Llama3-8B, Ministral-8B) in zero-shot, few-shot, and PEFT (Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning) settings, comparing their performance to fine-tuned encoder-only models like BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers). The results show that LLMs continue to lag behind fine-tuned encoders on this subjective task, underscoring the ongoing need for human-annotated moral corpora for AI alignment evaluation}
