1. A result of perception of redundancy in a message registered by a receiver.
Confirmation may act as an operator and lead to reinforcement.
2. “The support given to a hypothesis or model (a) by evidence available in the form of data or observations or (b) by logical deduction from premises, ultimately from the axioms of a formal system” (K. KRIPPENDORFF, 1986, p.15).
This could be considered a near synonym of “validation”
