  • Long-term and very expensive interventions typically show very small effects on changes in adolescent behavior in retrospect.

    “long-term and very expensive interventions typically show very small effects on changes in adolescent behavior in retrospect (for a review, see Yeager et al., 2015).”
  • Meta-analytical evidence suggests that anti-bullying programs' effectiveness decreases with age, with zero effectiveness in adolescence.

    “Regarding anti-bullying programs, meta-analytical evidence suggests that their effectiveness decreases with age, with zero effectiveness in adolescence (Yeager et al., 2015).”
  • Traditional antibullying interventions were effective from childhood to early adolescence, but their effectiveness decreased with age until reaching a null effect in adolescents.

    “Yeager et al. (2015) proposed that traditional antibullying interventions were effective from childhood to early adolescence. However, a decrease in the effectiveness was noted with the increase in age until reaching a null effect in the case of adolescents.”
  • The effectiveness of interventions in adolescence is extremely limited.

    “According to the results of metaanalytic studies, the effectiveness of interventions in adolescence is extremely limited.”

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.
