Abstract:
This erratum reports on a technical error that was discovered in Study 2 of Peer et al. (2021). Because of this technical error, some specific findings on participants' proclivity for dishonesty reported in the paper have been found incorrect. We detail the error, which only affected female participants, and its impact on the findings and report on the reanalyzed findings accounting for the error. The new findings do not change the conclusions provided in the paper, and show again that participants from MTurk are more likely to engage in dishonest behavior than participants from Prolific or CloudResearch.
