Maintaining rapport and consent while the other interactant has a different motivation can create relational tensions that need to be managed, especially when one party's motivation has negative consequences for or requires impositions on the other.
“Maintaining rapport and consent from a participant in an interaction while the other interactant has a different motivation can create 'relational tensions' (Spencer-Oatey 2002: 542) that need to be managed, more so when the motivation of one party has negative consequences for or requires impositions on the other.”

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.
