  • The cognitive-behavioral model of HA and hypochondriasis postulates that misinterpretation of normal bodily symptoms as harmful and somatosensory amplification lead to negative affect such as anxiety and worry.

    “The cognitive-behavioral model of HA and hypochondriasis by Warwick and Salkovskis [58] postulates that the perception of normal bodily symptoms and their misinterpretation as harmful and as a sign of a serious illness as well as the mechanism of somatosensory amplification [59] lead to negative affect (eg, anxiety and worry).”
  • The process of somatosensory amplification may contribute to the initiation and maintenance of health-related internet use.

    “Regarding the latter point, the process of somatosensory amplification [59] may contribute to the initiation and maintenance of health-related internet use.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
