  • Social identification leads to group polarization, meaning that group norms are perceived as more stereotypically extreme.

    “Researchers have also documented how social identification leads to group polarization, which means that group norms are perceived as more stereotypically extreme (Mackie 1986).”
  • Social capital, through identification, leads to the polarization of group beliefs, which in turn leads members to overestimate the powers of the group.

    “Finally, as noted earlier, SC, through identification, leads to the polarization of group beliefs (Mackie 1986), which in turn leads members to overestimate the powers of the group.”

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.
