Abstract

In this article, several errors introduced during the production process were identified. These errors do not affect the scientific content, analyses, or conclusions of the paper. The corrections are detailed below. Formatting of Statistical AbbreviationsIn several instances throughout the main text and tables, statistical abbreviations (e.g., M, SD, d, 95% CI, B, SE) were not italicized in accordance with APA style guidelines. These formatting errors have been corrected. Reference List OrderThe reference list contained ordering errors introduced during production. Specifically, the reference beginning with “Agmo 2007” was misplaced and appeared out of alphabetical sequence. The reference list has been corrected to ensure all entries are properly ordered alphabetically. Figure Axis LabelsIn Figs. 1 and 2, the y-axis label of the rightmost panels was incorrectly given as “directional orientation.” The correct label is “directional attraction” and should appear below.
