  • The difference in mediation by direction may have occurred because data collection occurred during confinement, when the whole family was forced to stay at home, increasing stress and boundary violations, especially involving the family at work.

    “This difference may have occurred because the data collection occurred during confinement, a period in which the whole family was forced to stay at home, making this the stage for school, work and play activities, increasing stress, namely boundaries violations, especially involving the family at work [7, 22, 48].”

    From Boundary violations and university teachers' well-being during mandatory telework: Recovery's role and gender differences (2024) · cites this paper as [7]

    The Introduction describes work-at-home teaching, family members sharing space, and blurred boundaries between school and home. The Results and discussion (Stressors) identifies blurred home–work lines as a stressor. The paper does not establish that whole families were forced to stay home or that homes became shared spaces for school, work, and play; its evidence concerns language teachers. (LLM, conf=0.85)

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.
