AI Insight
IMPACTeen is a new dataset containing 1,021 texts documenting social influence scenarios relevant to adolescents across interpersonal, media, and digital contexts. The dataset includes 5,100 annotation records from five different perspectives (teenagers, parents, psychologists, communication experts, and teachers), labeling social influence techniques, intentions, consequences, and other dimensions. Created initially in Polish with an English version, the dataset was generated using constrained language models followed by human editing and validation to ensure realistic youth-context scenarios.
Why it matters
This resource enables researchers to study how social influence operates in adolescent contexts and to develop AI systems that can detect manipulation and persuasion techniques targeting young people. The multi-perspective annotation approach allows investigation of how different stakeholders perceive the same influence scenarios, which is valuable for developing age-appropriate digital safety tools and educational interventions.

Abstract: IMPACTeen is a dataset of textual social influence scenarios spanning interpersonal, media-based, and digital settings in an adolescent context. It contains 1,021 texts, 5,100 individual annotation records, and gold labels for social influence techniques, with each text annotated from five distinct perspectives: teenagers, parents, psychologists, communication experts, and teachers. The resource was constructed through constrained LLM generation, followed by a two-step human editing and validation phase aimed at ensuring youth-context realism. A multi-dimensional annotation covered influence presence, techniques, intentions, consequences, resistance, reactions, and annotation confidence. The dataset supports research on social influence detection, annotator disagreement, cross-lingual modeling, and the training and evaluation of language models. The dataset was created in Polish and is accompanied by a corresponding English version.
