A Correction on
The relationship between college students' legal cognition and maladaptive risk-taking behaviors: the moderating effect of need for cognitive closure

by Hu, Y., Ding, Q., Liu, H., and Xu, S. (2025). Front. Psychol. 16:1717060. doi: 10.3389/fpsyg.2025.1717060

There was a mistake in Figure 3 as published. Figure 3 was erroneously duplicated from Figure 2.

The corrected Figure 3 and its caption appear below.

Figure 3
Line graph showing the relationship between concrete legal cognition and maladaptive risk-taking behaviors. The x-axis represents concrete legal cognition, from Low (M-1SD) to High (M+1SD), and the y-axis represents maladaptive risk-taking behaviors (β value), ranging from -1.000 to 1.000. A dashed line indicates low decisiveness, decreasing from 0.600 to 0.300 as cognition increases. A solid line indicates high decisiveness, decreasing from 0.100 to -0.200. A legend distinguishes these lines.

Figure 3. The moderating effect of decisiveness on the relationship between concrete legal cognition and maladaptive risk-taking behaviors.
