The authors would like to make the following corrections to the published paper [1]. The changes are as follows:
- Replace the content of the Institutional Review Board Statement:
This study was non-interventional studies (e.g., surveys, questionnaires, social media research); all participants were informed about why the research was being conducted, the data used, etc. For the research involving humans, the ethical approval of the institution ethics committee was obtained prior to conducting the study.
- With
Ethical review and approval were waived for this study. In Croatia, according to the Ethical Code of the Committee for Ethics in Science and Higher Education, in conjunction with the GDPR and the national Data Protection implementation Act (NN 42/2018), such low-risk social science research with informed consent and ensured anonymity does not require prior ethics committee approval. In India, according to the Indian Council of Social Science Research (ICSSR) Guidelines (2018) and Chapter 9 of the ICMR National Ethical Guidelines (2017), social and behavioral research involving minimal risk may be granted an ethics review waiver when informed consent and confidentiality are upheld.
The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.
