Corrigendum: The Wisdom in Virtue: Pursuit of Virtue Predicts Wise Reasoning About Personal Conflicts

Original Article: Huynh, A. C., Oakes, H., Shay, G. R., & McGregor, I. (2017). The wisdom in virtue: Pursuit of virtue predicts wise reasoning about personal conflicts. Psychological Science, 28, 1848-1856. doi:10.1177/0956797617722621 In this article, results for the Pursuit of Virtue × Conflict Type interaction in Study 2 were incorrectly reported. The final paragraph on page 1854 stated, "As in Study 1, we found a significant Pursuit of Virtue × Conflict Type interaction, F(1, 353) = 4.61, p = .032, η _p² = .01, 95% CI = [.0001, .05]." These results were taken from an analysis of standardized ( z-scored) dependent variables, but because Study 2 involved a repeated measures design, standardization did not allow the model to account for overall changes in reasoning between the two measures. Because our reported procedure did not involve standardizing the measures, this sentence is now being corrected to read as follows: The pattern of means was similar to that obtained in Study 1, although in this study, the Pursuit of Virtue × Conflict Type interaction was not statistically significant, F(1, 353) = 3.37, p = .067, η _p² = .01, 95% CI = [.00, .04]. Because this interaction is relevant to the primary findings, the authors acknowledge that Study 2 provides converging, but not statistically significant, support for the findings in Study 1. As a result of the same error, the reported p value for the moderation test of Hedonic motivation in the following paragraph (p. 1855) was also incorrect. The sentence reporting these results is being corrected to read: "Hedonic motivation did not moderate the effect of conflict type, F(1, 353) < 1, p = .323 (see the Supplemental Material for additional details)." The error in the presentation of these results did not affect the subsequent reported results for the simple effects in Study 2 or the analysis of the subcomponents of wise reasoning. The reported results for Study 1 were not affected by this error.
