arXiv:2501. 02211v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) reproduce homogeneity bias -- the tendency to portray marginalized groups as more internally similar than dominant groups -- but whether this bias generalizes across models, is stable under different inference settings, or depends on how group identity is signaled remains unstudied.

The paper examines how large language models (LLMs) respond to different demographic cues—such as names—when users seek advice, focusing on race and gender in a U.S. context. It finds that using different cues for the same group leads to only partially overlapping changes in model responses, producing inconsistent conclusions about personalization and unstable bias metrics. The authors argue that LLMs react to linguistic signals tied to cues rather than to stable demographic categories, and they call for evaluations that use multiple cues and consider underlying mechanisms.

CC-Mediation is a benchmark comprising 1,661 ten‑turn dialogues grounded in the Developmental Model of Intercultural Sensitivity (DMIS), designed to evaluate large language models (LLMs) on cross‑cultural conflict mediation. It introduces two DMIS‑based metrics—Trajectory AUC and a signed Wasserstein‑1 distance—to assess the persistence and magnitude of intercultural stance change. The study finds that current LLMs struggle with both when to intervene and how to respond, due to positional priors and late‑layer elicitation collapse.
