Human vs. AI-Generated Texts: How Humor and Emotional Valence Shape Perceived Authorship

This repository contains the dataset associated with the original manuscript entitled “Human vs. AI-Generated Texts: How Humor and Emotional Valence Shape Perceived Authorship.”

The dataset includes the anonymized responses collected during the experimental study designed to investigate how humor and emotional valence influence individuals’ judgments about the authorship of texts. Participants were presented with a series of short texts that varied in humor and emotional valence and were asked to evaluate whether they believed the texts were written by a human or generated by an artificial intelligence system.

The dataset contains participants’ demographic information, data on the frequency and motivations for AI use, and the judgments provided by participants regarding the authorship of the texts presented in the experiment, along with the corresponding experimental condition variables.
