A proportionally higher number of older workers in the Netherlands avoided dominant mastery, thus focusing on being less competitive.
“However, a proportionally higher number of older workers in the Netherlands avoided dominant mastery, thus focusing on being less competitive [11].”
From A scoping review of the incentives for a prolonged work life after pensionable age and the importance of "bridge employment" (2018) · cites this paper as [11]
The Results report that a higher proportion of older Dutch workers than younger workers held dominant mastery-avoidance goals (38.7% versus 28.4%). The Discussion suggests a shift toward a less competitive, mastery-related pattern. But mastery-avoidance means focusing on not performing worse than before, not avoiding mastery itself; the claim blurs that distinction. (LLM, conf=0.84)

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.
