Abstract

As a result of a re-analysis of the statistical analyses reported in one of the authors’ draft PhD theses, which includes this article [1], the authors provide updates to the published article. The corrections provided here address rounding errors, t-test with incorrect equal variance assumed, not applying post-hoc correction on p-values, inappropriate application of one-tailed t-test, errors in the reported degrees of freedom, F-values, and associated effect-size. Furthermore, the corrections also address textual errors in reference to figures and measures. To maintain transparency, the authors also provide the data files, data analysis scripts (open source R-scripts), and statistical output files for the re-analysis (available using DOI: https://doi.org/10.4121/uuid:030f90e6-c126-4bdd-81b4-eb65ddd6f2bc). The corrected sentences are provided below. The corrections do not change the overall conclusions. Please see the location of the error, the original text, and the author-corrected text here.(Table presented)
