- Public spaces — a single piece of litter raises the probability of further littering in field experiments; clearing visible disorder reduces it.
This sourceSix field experiments showing a single piece of visible litter/disorder measurably raises the rate of further violation, and clearing it suppresses the cascade.
Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract
The paper's abstract reports six field experiments showing that seeing others violate a norm makes further violation more likely, but it says nothing about clearing visible disorder reducing littering.
“We generated hypotheses about the spread of disorder and tested them in six field experiments. We found that, when people observe that others violated a certain social norm or legitimate rule, they are more likely to violate other norms or rules, which causes disorder to spread.”

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.
