Ito, Larsen, Smith & Cacioppo negativity-bias ERP study was published in 1998, not 2001 (matches reference list)
Before(no live fabrication found)
After(no change made)
Why: Verified live: article body already correctly attributes the Ito, Cacioppo et al. ERP study to 1998. FAQ JSON-LD block mentions Ito/Cacioppo without an attached year, and separately mentions an unrelated 2001 Baumeister paper ('Bad Is Stronger Than Good') which is a legitimate, different citation, not this fabrication. No further action needed.
