arXiv:2610.37896v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Subjective judgments such as offensiveness often vary substantially across individuals, motivating pluralistic modeling approaches that incorporate annotators' socio-demographic information to capture this variation. However, prior findings on the benefits of socio-demographic information for pluralistic modeling are mixed, calling for a systematic analysis of both its effectiveness and the mechanisms through which it improves prediction. In this work, we study $\textbf{when}$ and $\textbf{where}$ socio-demographics benefit pluralistic offensiveness modeling, as well as $\textbf{the role of explicit reasoning}$ in leveraging this information.
