Abstract

A growing body of research suggests that threats to the social self, or threats to one's social esteem, acceptance, or status, can elicit a coordinated response, including increases in self-conscious emotion, cortisol, and proinflammatory cytokine activity. These psychobiological changes may have important benefits under certain acute contexts, including providing a signaling function for detecting social threat, initiating biological processes to adequately respond to the threat, and supporting behavioral patterns of submission or disengagement, which may be adaptive in this context. However, prolonged or chronic experiences of social self threat could have damaging mental and physical health consequences; situational and individual characteristics may render some more vulnerable to these negative effects.

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.
