Conflict, frustration, and the theory of threat.
Abstract
Similar to frustration, there are two types of conflict situations: non-threatening and threatening. The former are quite unimportant, since ordinarily not pathogenic; the latter are important, because often pathogenic. The essential pathogenic characteristics of conflict and frustration are threat of thwarting of the basic needs of the organism, threat to its integrity, threat to its integration, and threat to its basic mastery of the world. The feeling of threat is in itself a dynamic stimulation to reactions. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)

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.
