Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

ABSTRACT Loneliness is a pervasive social problem and is experienced universally, regardless of one's race, gender, age or cultural background. Adolescents have been reported to be the most amenable to loneliness. This study examined the influence of cultural background on adolescents' perceptions of the causes of their loneliness. In the present study, 100 Canadian youth and 206 Portuguese adolescents answered an 82-items questionnaire. The questionnaire is composed of five subscales, namely: Personal inadequacies, Developmental deficits, Unfulfilling intimate relationships, Relocation/significant separation, and Social marginality. Participants were asked to endorse those items that in their opinion constituted the antecedents of their loneliness. Results indicated significant differences, between youth of the two cultures on only two of the five subscales. Gender differences were also examined within and between cultures.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
