In this experiment, we compare people's values with their agreement or disagreement with paragraphs that were classified as either supporting or opposing a specific topic. We found that five value types have statistically significant agreement (p<0.001) for both the supporting and opposing paragraphs, in opposite directions. We hope to use these paragraph ratings to train an automatic text classifier to agree or disagree with paragraphs based on a specific value profile. %B Proceedings of the 2011 iConference %S iConference '11 %I ACM %C New York, NY, USA %P 783 - 784 %8 2011/// %@ 978-1-4503-0121-3 %G eng %U http://doi.acm.org/10.1145/1940761.1940903 %R 10.1145/1940761.1940903
