  • Humans have a basic need to belong.

    “in addition to the basic human need to belong (Maslow, 1954)”
  • Physiological and safety needs must be met prior to meeting any other higher need, such as belonging and self-actualization.

    “Maslow's (1954) hierarchy of needs, which posits that physiological and safety needs must be met prior to meeting any other higher need, such as belonging and self-actualization; only once an individual's basic needs are met are they able to consider their social needs (McLeod, 2007).”

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.
