In the original publication (Kong et al., 2024), there were two mistakes in Figure 3 and the citation of Table 1 as published.
1. The Figure 3 duplicates Figure 4 and needs to replace Figure 3 with a new version. The corrected Figure 3 appears below.
Figure 3.
Interaction of country and gender on fidgeting.
2. There is a sentence, which is “All behaviors are standardized”, in the Table 1’s notes that needs to be deleted. The corrected Table 1 appears below.
Table 1.
Means and standard deviations and between-group differences on the five expressions of children’s shyness-related behaviors by country.
The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.
