Online activism was beneficial only in interaction with gender identity; engagement benefits well-being only when a person has a strong social identity, which serves as a protective factor.
“However, in her subsequent study on a similar Cana -dian sample, Foster ( 2019 ) found that online activism was beneficial only in interaction with gender identity, meaning that engagement benefits well-being only when a person has a strong social identity, which serves as a protective fac -tor.”

Online engagement had a beneficial effect on life satisfaction if perceived as active and not passive, moderated by gender identity, in a Canadian sample.
“In a similar Canadian sample, online engagement had a beneficial effect on life satisfaction if this engagement was perceived as active and not passive, and this effect was mod -erated by gender identity (Foster, 2019 ).”

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.
