Domain-specific

• Positivity Effect
  • Two features define its mechanism rather than a mere mood change: the shift is in the relative weighting of positive versus negative, not in global affect level, and it is attenuated under cognitive load, which indicates it requires executive resources to deploy — consistent with a goal-driven, actively regulated process rather than a passive perceptual bias or an artifact of age-related amygdala decline

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.
