    2 corrections applied: Brady et al. (2017) was published in PNAS, not Nature Human Behaviour | Bono & Ilies, The Leadership Quarterly, was published in 2006 (as the reference list states), not 2004

    Before

    Brady et al. (2017) in Nature Human Behaviour found that moral-emotional language spread further on Twitter; A 2004 study by Bono and Ilies

    After

    Brady et al. (2017) in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that moral-emotional language spread further on Twitter; A 2006 study by Bono and Ilies

    Why: Body text was already correctly fixed to PNAS (2017) and 2006 for Bono and Ilies, but the bibliography reference-list entry for Brady et al. still cited the stale unverified journal 'Nature Human Behaviour' with an inconsistent article-number format, contradicting the already-fixed body sentence.

    Fixed the bibliography entry to Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 114(28), 7313-7318 to match the correct PNAS attribution and verified clean on live re-fetch. FAQ/excerpt/meta_description/seo_keywords had no residual mention of either fabrication.
