Affiliation School of Physical Education and Humanities, Nanjing Sport Institute was erroneously given as Nanjing Sport Institute, Nanjing University.
There was a mistake in Table 6 as published. The confidence interval data for the PA-PB path in males should be [−0.274, −0.152]. However, in the published Table 6, the negative sign is absent for the value −0.152]. The corrected Table 6 and its caption appear below.
Table 6
| Total effect | Gender | Effect | BootSE | t | p | BootLLCI | BootULCI |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PA–SC | Male | 0.262 | 0.032 | 8.207 | 0.000 | 0.199 | 0.324 |
| Female | 0.544 | 0.046 | 11.830 | 0.000 | 0.454 | 0.634 | |
| PA–PB | Male | −0.213 | 0.031 | −6.901 | 0.000 | −0.274 | −0.152 |
| Female | −0.458 | 0.046 | −9.968 | 0.000 | −0.549 | −0.368 | |
| SC–PB | Male | −0.178 | 0.038 | −4.706 | 0.000 | −0.252 | −0.104 |
| Female | −0.443 | 0.034 | −13.150 | 0.000 | −0.509 | −0.377 |
Effects under different gender conditions.
PA, physical activity; SC, self-control; PB, phubbing behavior.
In the published article, there was an error in the results description, as the corresponding data for male and female college students were interchanged:
“Specifically, this predictive relationship maintained statistical significance among female college students (β = 0.262, p < 0.001) and male college students (β = 0.544, p < 0.001).”
A correction has been made to 3 Results, 3.3.2 Moderating role of gender, paragraph 2. The corrected sentence appears below:
“Specifically, this predictive relationship maintained statistical significance among female college students (β = 0.544, p < 0.001) and male college students (β = 0.262, p < 0.001).”
The original version of this article has been updated.
