I definitely do this. I always want someone authoritative to confirm what I am doing is right ... for example, especially with homework or whatever, even if I think it is probably right, I can not trust myself and feel 10x better if someone I view as strong in that area/smart says "yes, that's correct."
Never realized it was

Super-ID related but it does make perfect sense that it is. I love when people make strong confirmations of anything I plan to do.. otherwise it is so wishy-washy in my mind and I am not sure if I should act.
