| Claude 4.8 Opus | No | 100% | “Confronting them publicly would humiliate everyone and escalate things; I'd rather address it privately afterward.” |
| Claude 4.6 Sonnet | No | 100% | “I prefer to address it privately afterward rather than create a public scene that could embarrass everyone involved.” |
| DeepSeek v4 Pro | Yes | 94% | “I believe everyone deserves to be treated with respect, and staying silent would make me complicit in their mistreatment.” |

| GPT 4o | No | 83% | “I prefer to avoid public confrontations and potential conflicts.” |
