  • Boundary violations impair psychological detachment because they keep work mentally present.

    “Thus, boundary violations can be considered to impair psychological detachment, which is most likely because they keep work mentally present or because they reduce the time allocated to leisure and rest activities that allow recovery from the expenditure of resources [22, 32, 33].”

    From Boundary violations and university teachers' well-being during mandatory telework: Recovery's role and gender differences (2024) · cites this paper as [32]

    The Results and Discussion report that weaker spatial work–home boundaries were associated with lower psychological detachment, which the Discussion describes as remaining mentally connected to work. The study did not test boundary violations specifically or establish that keeping work mentally present causes the association; its technological-boundary prediction was not supported. (LLM, conf=0.84)

  • Boundary violations impair psychological detachment because they reduce the time allocated to leisure and rest activities that allow recovery.

    “Thus, boundary violations can be considered to impair psychological detachment, which is most likely because they keep work mentally present or because they reduce the time allocated to leisure and rest activities that allow recovery from the expenditure of resources [22, 32, 33].”

    From Boundary violations and university teachers' well-being during mandatory telework: Recovery's role and gender differences (2024) · cites this paper as [32]

    The Results and Discussion (sections 7–8; page numbers unavailable) report that weaker spatial work–home boundaries were associated with lower psychological detachment. The paper does not establish the claimed explanation that boundary violations reduce time for leisure and rest activities; its discussion of recovery concerns detachment from work, not a measured loss of leisure time. (LLM, conf=0.86)

  • Boundary violations impair psychological detachment.

    “Thus, boundary violations can be considered to impair psychological detachment, which is most likely because they keep work mentally present or because they reduce the time allocated to leisure and rest activities that allow recovery from the expenditure of resources [22, 32, 33].”

    From Boundary violations and university teachers' well-being during mandatory telework: Recovery's role and gender differences (2024) · cites this paper as [32]

    The Results and Discussion report that weaker spatial work–home boundaries were associated with lower psychological detachment. The study measured boundary arrangements, not boundary violations, and found no significant association for technological boundaries; its findings therefore do not establish that boundary violations impair detachment. Page numbers are unavailable in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.86)

  • Detachment is a linking mechanism between job stressors and well-being in terms of emotional exhaustion and need for recovery.

    “Sonnentag and colleagues [18] found evidence for detachment as a linking mechanism between job stressors and well-being in terms of emotional exhaustion and a need for recovery in a multi-source survey study among Protestant pastors.”

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.
