In the original article, there was a mistake in Figure 5, Figure 6, and Figure 7 as published. The labels of the horizontal axis were incorrectly typed as “bpdy shapes in VR.” This should be corrected as “body shapes in VR.” The corrected Figure 5, Figure 6, and Figure 7 appear below.
FIGURE 5
Figure 5. Adjusted mean score of immediate self-efficacy for core workouts.
FIGURE 6
Figure 6. Adjusted mean score of next-day self-efficacy for core workouts.
FIGURE 7
Figure 7. Interaction between avatar body shape and sex of participants in predicting participants' self-concept after the VR experience.
