Domain-specific

• Authority Bias
  • Milgram's obedience experiments (1963) provided the most striking experimental evidence: subjects instructed by an experimenter in a grey technician's coat in an institutional setting to deliver escalating electric shocks to a confederate complied at rates far exceeding observers' predictions

    This sourceReports that 26 of the 40 subjects administered the highest shock on the generator, with 14 breaking off.

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? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.

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.
