Correction on: Maaravi, Y., & Heller, B. (2021). Buyers, maybe moving second is not that bad after all: low-power, anxiety, and making inferior first offers. Frontiers in Psychology, 12, 677653.In the published article, there was an error. Two p-values were rounded to two decimal places (instead of three) and consequently reported as statistically significant.A correction has been made to Results, Study 1, 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."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.
