Corrigendum: Distrust as a disease avoidance strategy: Individual differences in disgust sensitivity regulate generalized social trust [Front. Psychol., 7, (2016) (1038)] DOI:10.3389/fpsyg.2016.01038

Abstract

After publication, a very minor coding error was discovered in a single control variable, SOI, used only in Test 3. As consequence, a few of the reported coefficients in Test 3 are slightly different than in the published version. None of the article's conclusions in terms of substance or significance are influenced by this error. The following paragraphs list the corrected coefficients after correction of the coding error: There is a small mistake in the reported alpha-coefficient, mean, and standard deviation for the SOI index described on page 10 in the article "Distrust As a Disease Avoidance Strategy: Individual Differences in Disgust Sensitivity Regulate Generalized Social Trust" by Aarøe, Osmundsen and Petersen published in Frontiers in Psychology 28 July 2016. The correct values for the SOI index are "α = 0.74" (not 0.71), "M = 0.53" (not 0.59), and "SD = 0.09" (not 0.08). The same alpha coefficient is reported for the SOI index in the Online Appendix p. 11. On p. 11 in the Online Appendix the correct alpha coefficient should also be "α = 0.74" (not 0.71). Table 3, Model 3, in the same article contains a small error in the reported unstandardized OLS regression coefficient and standard error for the effect of SOI and for the constant. In Model 3 in Table 3, the correct effect of SOI should be "0.02 (0.07)" [not 0.05 (0.08)] and the correct constant should be "0.42***(0.06)" [not 0.40***(0.07)].
