  • Error in Table
In the original publication [1], there was a mistake in Table 3. Summary of person location estimates as published. Columns of the data were misaligned. The corrected Table 3 appears below.
  • Text Correction
There was an error in the original publication [1]. The formula was mistakenly typed.
  • A correction has been made to Section 1.1 Item Response Theory, Paragraph 1:
P Y = 1 θ , β = exp ( θ β ) 1 + exp ( θ β )
  • A correction has been made to Section 2.2 The Proposed Approach, Paragraph 2:
P j Y 1 * = 1 θ C , β j 1 = exp ( θ C β j 1 ) 1 + exp ( θ C β j 1 )
P j Y 2 * = 1 θ N , β j 2 = exp ( θ N β j 2 ) 1 + exp ( θ N β j 2 )
P j Y 3 * = 1 θ I , β j 3 = exp ( θ I β j 3 ) 1 + exp ( θ I β j 3 )
There was an error in the original publication [1]. A sentence was confusing: “The data consist of four item types: (i) Item type 1: proscriptive norm (progrJ; benefit of action is larger than cost), (ii) Item type 2: proscriptive norm (prosmJ; benefit of action is smaller than cost), (iii) Item type 3: prescriptive norm (pregrJ; benefit of action is larger than cost), and (iv) Item type 4: prescriptive norm (presmJ; benefit of action is smaller than cost).”.
  • A correction has been made to Section 2.3. Data Analysis, Paragraph 1:
“The data consists of four item types: (i) Item type 1: proscriptive norm and the benefit of action is larger than cost (progrJ); (ii) Item type 2: proscriptive norm and the benefit of action is smaller than cost (prosmJ); (iii) Item type 3: prescriptive norm and the benefit of action is larger than cost (pregrJ); and (iv) Item type 4: prescriptive norm and the benefit of action is smaller than cost (presmJ).”
There was an error in the original publication. A typographical error in the sentence “All item responses in the original data were assigned scores of “49” and “21” to represent action and inaction, respectively”.
  • A correction has been made to Section 2.3. Data Analysis, Paragraph 2:
“All item responses in the original data were assigned scores of “49” and “21” to represent inaction and action, respectively”
The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.
