  • The presence or absence of opportunities for the audience to manage their death anxiety via their drinking water selection offered unique insights about Canadians' water consumption decisions and how tap water promotional efforts can be improved.

  • Cote and Wolfe (2017) conducted a content analysis of bottled water advertisements and anti-bottled water communication campaign materials using a TMT framework.

    “Cote and Wolfe (2017) conducted a content analysis of bottled water advertisements and anti-bottled water communication campaign materials using a TMT framework to consider what the content revealed about why many Canadians drink bottled instead of tap water.”

    From Mortality management and climate action: A review and reference for using Terror Management Theory methods in interdisciplinary environmental research (2022) · cites this paper as Cote and Wolfe (2017)

    The Methodology and Introduction say the authors used a TMT framework to conduct a content analysis. But they analyzed national and local print-media coverage of the Walkerton water contamination, not bottled-water advertisements or anti-bottled-water campaign materials. The cited paper therefore supports the method, but not the materials attributed to it. (LLM, conf=0.89)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured

  • Qualitative approaches are designed to explore and understand - rather than prove - complex phenomenon in-situ, via valid, trustworthy, and credible methodology.

    “Qualitative approaches are designed to explore and understand - rather than prove - complex phenomenon in-situ (Cote et al., 2017), via valid, trustworthy, and credible methodology (Connelly, 2016).”

    From Mortality management and climate action: A review and reference for using Terror Management Theory methods in interdisciplinary environmental research (2022) · cites this paper as Cote et al., 2017

    The Introduction and Methodology describe using the Walkerton case to explore the relationship between emotions and responses to environmental crises, and say content analysis helps researchers understand behavior in context. They do not establish the broader claim that qualitative approaches are designed to explore rather than prove. The statement about valid, trustworthy, and credible methodology is attached to Connelly (2016), not Cote et al. (LLM, conf=0.84)

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.
