Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Personal space is influenced by relationships, with a closer intimate zone reserved for lovers.

    “The personal space (PS) we keep between us and others is crucially influenced by our relationships with them; a closer, intimate zone being reserved for lovers.”

    From Oxytocin Modulates Social Distance between Males and Females (2012) · cites this paper as Hayduk, 1983

  • If an unfamiliar person violates personal space, we can feel uncomfortable, so close approach must be carefully controlled.

    “However, if an unfamiliar person violates our PS (Hall, 1966;Hayduk, 1983), we can feel uncomfortable, and so close approach must be carefully controlled.”

    From Oxytocin Modulates Social Distance between Males and Females (2012) · cites this paper as Hayduk, 1983

  • Behavioral experiments in the authors' lab, as well as others, show strong correlations between participants' preferences in these experiments and preferences in a more realistic behavioral measure of interpersonal distance (the stop-distance paradigm).

    “However, behavioral experiments in our lab, as well as others, show strong correlations between participants' preferences in these experiments and preferences in a more realistic behavioral measure of interpersonal distance in which participants choose their preferred distance from a stranger in a live interaction in the laboratory (i.e. the stop-distance paradigm, Hayduk, 1983; Perry Anat, Levy-G”
  • Keeping too far away from others signals low social motivation and keeping close to others, especially strangers, may induce personal distress or social anxiety.

    “In real-life situations, keeping too far away from others signals low social motivation (26) and keeping close to others, especially strangers, may induce personal distress or social anxiety (26, 27).”
  • Choosing closer projected distance does not necessarily predict interpersonal distance in a real-life situation as a result of potential increases of anxiety.

    “choosing closer projected distance does not necessarily predict interpersonal distance in a real-life situation as a result of potential increases of anxiety (26, 27).”

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.
