    4 corrections applied: Steele & Josephs (1990) alcohol myopia was published in American Psychologist, not Psychological Review | Silke (2003) Northern Ireland disguise study was published in the Journal of Social Psychology | Zimbardo's 1969 deindividuation work appeared in the Nebraska Symposium on Motivation, not JPSP | Zimbardo's 1969 shock study was published in the Nebraska Symposium on Motivation, not JPSP

    Before

    FAQ: Andrew Silke's 2003 Human Factors and Aerospace Safety analysis of 500 violent attacks during the Northern Ireland conflict; seo_keywords: Zimbardo 1969 JPSP electric shock anonymity / Silke 2003 Northern Ireland disguise violence

    After

    FAQ: Andrew Silke's 2003 Journal of Social Psychology analysis of 500 violent attacks during the Northern Ireland conflict; seo_keywords: Zimbardo 1969 Nebraska Symposium electric shock anonymity / Silke 2003 Journal of Social Psychology Northern Ireland disguise violence

    Why: Body/bibliography for all 4 named corrections (Steele & Josephs American Psychologist, Silke Journal of Social Psychology, both Zimbardo Nebraska Symposium citations) were already correct on the live site.

    However, the FAQ JSON-LD independently still attributed the Silke 2003 study to an unverified Human Factors and Aerospace Safety journal, and seo_keywords still referenced the original unverified JPSP journal for Zimbardo's work.

    Fixed both the faq (re-encoded via the standard base64,json,base64,json op-sequence, round-trip verified) and seo_keywords, then re-fetched and confirmed clean on the live rendered page.
