A Corrigendum on
Buyers, maybe moving second is not that bad after all: low-power, anxiety, and making inferior first offers

by Maaravi, Y., and Heller, B. (2021). Front. Psychol. 12:677653. doi: 10.3389/fpsyg.2021.677653

In the published article, there was an error in the text. Two p-values were rounded to two decimal places (instead of three) and consequently reported as statistically significant.

A correction has been made to Study 1, Results, Paragraph 2.

This sentence previously stated:

“In the second step of the analysis, the interaction between anxiety and power was entered revealing a significant effect (β = −0.16, B = −129.4, t = −1.94, p = 0.05) which explained a significant increase in variance in first offer, ΔR2 = 0.026, F(1, 107) = 3.77, p = 0.05.”

The corrected sentence appears below:

“In the second step of the analysis, the interaction between anxiety and power was entered, revealing a trend in the expected direction that fell short of statistical significance (β = −0.16, B = −129.4, t = −1.94, p = 0.055). The increase in variance in first offer [ΔR2 = 0.026, F(1,107) = 3.77, p = 0.055] shows a similar trend that did not reach statistical significance.”

Additionally, the correspondence email address as published has been amended. Instead of “bXlvc3NpQGlkYy5hYy5pbA==” it should be “bXlvc3NpQHJ1bmkuYWMuaWw=”.

The original article has been updated.
