  • Low executive functioning (poor planning, lack of initiative, missed deadlines) can frustrate state actors, who may confuse such behaviors with lack of motivation or laziness, leading them to categorize citizens as undeserving.

    “low executive functioning (poor planning, lack of initiative, missed deadlines, etc.) can prove frustrating to state actors who may easily confuse such behaviors with lack of motivation or laziness, which may, in turn, lead them to categorize citizens as undeserving (Aarøe and Petersen 2014; Hansen 2018; Jilke and Tummers 2018).”

    The Deservingness Heuristic section says people oppose welfare for recipients perceived as lazy and view those held responsible for their plight as undeserving. But the paper does not address executive-functioning difficulties, whether state actors mistake those difficulties for laziness, or the proposed path from that mistake to an undeservingness judgment.

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.
