In the original publication of this article (Li & Wei, Reference Li and Wei2022), three separate minor errors appeared.
First, an erroneous sentence appeared in the note to Table 2. The original table note read:
Note: SES = Socioeconomic status; Correlations for girls are presented above the diagonal, correlations for boys are presented below the diagonal. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001.
The table note in its entirety should correctly read:
Note: SES = Socioeconomic status. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001.
Second, in the subsection of the results titled “The Joint Predictive Effects of Anxiety, Enjoyment, and Boredom on Subsequent Achievements,” a value was mistakenly duplicated. The sentence that reads:
Enjoyment was negatively related to boredom with a medium effect size (β = –.46, p < .001) and boredom was positively related to anxiety with a medium effect size (β = –.46, p < .001).
should instead read:
Enjoyment was negatively related to boredom with a medium effect size (β = –.46, p < .001) and boredom was positively related to anxiety with a medium effect size (β = .47, p < .001).
Third, in the third paragraph of the discussion section, “T3” was repeated twice in a parenthetical where the first use should have said “T2.” The sentence that reads:
In line with two substudies in London and Saudi Arabia by Dewaele and Alfawzan (2018), our findings also show that the effect of enjoyment (T2: β = .21, p < .001; T3: β = .10, p < .01) outweighed that of anxiety (T3: β = –.12, p < .01; T3: β = –.08, p < .01).
should instead read:
In line with two substudies in London and Saudi Arabia by Dewaele and Alfawzan (2018), our findings also show that the effect of enjoyment (T2: β = .21, p < .001; T3: β = .10, p < .01) outweighed that of anxiety (T2: β = –.12, p < .01; T3: β = –.08, p < .01).
The authors apologize for these errors.
