In the original article, there was a statistical error in the Materials and Methods section, page 4. The text read as “Eventually, a valid sample of 1,500 participants was analyzed collectively (892 females and 192 males; mean age = 26.74 years, SD = 3.81 years; age range: 18–34 years).” The statement has been corrected as follows:
“Eventually, a valid sample of 1,500 participants was analyzed collectively (688 females and 812 males; mean age = 26.74 years, SD = 3.81 years; age range: 18–34 years).”
