Primes

  • Bystander Effect
    • This sourceMeta-analysis of violent/prosocial game effects on aggression and prosocial outcomes - it does NOT concern the bystander effect or digital help-seeking. Non-supporting for D17-010; replaced (see body_swaps and markey-2000 cite reused for the digital-bystander claim).

Verification

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
