contents In this work, we conduct an analysis to examine the consistency of Large Language Models (LLMs) with respect to their own generated responses in an emotionally-driven conversational context. Specifically, the text generated by LLM is framed as a query to the same model, and its responses are subsequently assessed. This is performed with three queries across two dimensions of extreme and moderate emotions. The three queries are, in particular, false claim queries that contain inherently wrong assumptions (false presuppositions) in increasing order of intensity. Two commercial models, Claude-3.5-haiku, GPT4o-mini, and a medium-sized model, Mistral-7B, are considered in the study. Our findings indicate that LLMs exhibit below-average performance and remain vulnerable to false beliefs embedded within queries. This susceptibility is especially pronounced for moderate emotional content. Furthermore, an extended attention-score-based analysis highlights a shift in models' priority from evaluative to generative. The results raise important considerations for LLMs' deployment in high-stakes, emotionally sensitive contexts.
