Description
Analysis code, supplementary tables, figures and derived results for the conference submission “Measuring Morality in Text: A Matched Comparison of Moral Foundations Theory and Morality-as-Cooperation Tools.”
The study compares ten moral text-analysis instruments, six based on Moral Foundations Theory (MFT) and four based on Morality-as-Cooperation (MAC), including two new MAC instruments (MAC-DDR and MAC-CCR), on 1,012,539 sentences from 847 party manifestos in the Manifesto Project corpus.
Contents: scoring scripts for all instruments, the MAC-DDR seed lists and selection audit, the MAC-CCR questionnaire items, the cross-instrument agreement and GAL–TAN regression analyses, robustness checks reported in the supplementary material, and derived summary outputs (CSV tables and figures). See README.md for the project structure and how to run the pipeline.
Not included: the Manifesto Project corpus (available under the Manifesto Project’s academic-use license), sentence-level score files, and the fastText embedding model (available from its original source).
