Hello,

I am an academic writer from croatia.

Did I write these sentences right?

I hypothesized that daily hassles interfere with recovery because of low-rated job satisfaction. In contrast, I assumed that social support facilitates recovery because of higher-rated job satisfaction.

I am unsure about "because of" and with the used hyphen (e.g, low-rated).

Thanks!

Hello. (There is no need for a greeting.)

I am an academic writer from Croatia.

Did I write these the following sentences right correctly?

I hypothesized that daily hassles interfere with recovery because of low-rated low rates of job satisfaction. In contrast, I assumed that social support facilitates recovery because of higher-rated [the associated] higher job satisfaction.

I am unsure about "because of" and with the used hyphen (e.g, in "low-rated").

Thanks! Don't thank us in advance. Thank us after we help you, by adding the "Thanks" icon to any response you find useful.
See my comments and corrections above. I don't find "hassles" very natural given the formal, professional tone of the rest.

For me, the assessment of job satisfaction in this sentence is important. Therefore, I used "rated".
How can I write this well?

I guess you mean "low job satisfaction".

Why do you use the past tense and not the present if the subject is still current?

What do you mean by daily hassles? What recovery are you talking about?

It's either low or high job satisfaction. "Rated" is redundant.

@tedmc If you are going to say what I'm thinking I don't have to say anything, do I?
