## Description

**Tweet Annotation Sensitivity Experiment 1**

We drew a stratified sample of 20 tweets, that were pre-annotated in a study by [Davidson et al. (2017)](https://ojs.aaai.org/index.php/ICWSM/article/view/14955) for Hate Speech / Offensive Language / Neither. The stratification was done with respect to majority-voted class and level of disagreement.

We then recruited 1000 [Prolific](https://www.prolific.com/) workers to annotate each of the 20 tweets. Annotators were randomly selected into one of six experimental conditions. In these conditions they were asked to assign the labels Hate Speech / Offensive Language / Neither.

In addition, we collected a variety of demographic variables (e.g. age and gender) and some para data (e.g. duration of the whole task, duration per screen).
