More avid and long-term engagement in social movement had a detrimental effect on psychological well-being among Hong Kong youth.
“Another longi -tudinal study on Hong Kong youth by Chan et al. ( 2021) even showed that more avid and long-term engagement in social movement (which would fall into the protest action category) had a detrimental effect on psychological wellbeing.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
