by Nagaoka, D., Tomoshige, N., Ando, S., Morita, M., Kiyono, T., Kanata, S., Fujikawa, S., Endo, K., Yamasaki, S., Fukuda, M., Nishida, A., Hiraiwa-Hasegawa, M., and Kasai, K. (2022). Front. Psychiatry 13:865907. doi: 10.3389/fpsyt.2022.865907
In the published article, there was an error.
A correction has been made to [Abstract], [Results]. This sentence previously stated:
“Depressive symptoms (SMFQ scores) in the “prosocial praise group” were significantly lower than those in the other group both at age 10 (4.3 ± 4.4 vs. 4.9 ± 4.6, p < 0.001) and at age (3.4 ± 4.2 vs. 4.0 ± 4.6, p < 0.01).”
The corrected sentence appears below:
“Depressive symptoms (SMFQ scores) in the “prosocial praise group” were significantly lower than those in the other group both at age 10 (4.3 ± 4.4 vs. 4.9 ± 4.6, p < 0.001) and at age 12 (3.4 ± 4.2 vs. 4.0 ± 4.6, p < 0.01).”
The authors apologize for this error and state that this does not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way. The original article has been updated.
