Analysis of Moral Judgement on Reddit

Understand

Moral outrage has become synonymous with social media in recent years.

• However, the preponderance of academic analysis on social media websites has focused on hate speech and misinformation.
• This paper focuses on analyzing moral judgements rendered on social media by capturing the moral judgements that are passed in the subreddit /r/AmITheAsshole on Reddit.
• Using the labels associated with each judgement we train a classifier that can take a comment and determine whether it judges the user who made the original post to have positive or negative moral valence.
