In the original article, there was a mistake in Figure 3A as published. Due to a drawing error, the line style of introvert and extravert in the panel of “Loneliness” was drawn incorrectly. The corrected Figure 3 appears below.

(A) Mean Z score of Internet addiction, loneliness, and life satisfaction as a function of online/offline integration (low or high) and extraversion (extraverted or introverted).
