    During the COVID-19 pandemic, individuals using emotion-focused coping expressed a willingness to respond to negative emotions more quickly for short-term stress relief.

    “In particular, in terms of short-term stress relief, individuals using emotion-focused coping strategies during the COVID-19 pandemic have been shown to express a willingness to respond to negative emotions more quickly.”

  • Tourists' behavioral intentions in health and wellness tourism can predict their actual tourism behaviors and effectively reflect the number of travelers in the tourism market.

    “Tourists’ behavioral intentions in health and wellness tourism are able to predict their actual tourism behaviors and can effectively reflect the number of travelers in the tourism market [5,20].”

    From Health and Wellness Tourists’ Motivation and Behavior Intention: The Role of Perceived Value (2023) · cites this paper as [5]

    The Post pandemic travel intentions section discusses decisions to postpone or pursue travel, and the Discussion reports factors influencing travel intentions. Neither section establishes that intentions predict actual behavior or reflect traveler numbers; searches for those relationships and for health and wellness tourism found no supporting passage in our copy.

Self-check

Percentages, sums and reported differences re-computed from the paper’s own numbers.

Each contradiction between two passages listed here was confirmed by an independent check.

  • Correlation was reported as its own square

    Minor

    The reported correlation is 0.669, so its square is 0.447561, not 0.669. The discriminant-validity comparison still holds with the corrected value.

    Reported 0.669 · recomputed 0.447561

  • Domestic-travel percentage does not match the count

    Minor

    Table 3 lists 521 of 1,156 respondents in the 2-3 domestic-trips category, or about 45.1%, rather than the 44.1% stated in the text.

    Reported 44.1 · recomputed 45.069204

  • Emotion-focused coping test statistic differs between text and table

    Minor

    The prose gives the test statistic for H6 as 3.748, whereas Table 6 gives 3.738 for the same path.

  • Fit indices exceed the stated preferred cutoff

    Minor

    All four reported fit indices exceed 0.90, although the text says values below 0.90 are preferred and then calls all the indices satisfactory.

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.

Claims read by deepseek-v4.1-flash under definition version 3 (extract-v3) on 2026-10-04.

Classified by jev-1.13-20260917 (gold-guideline-v0.2) on 2026-10-04.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
