abstract

  • The article Developmental pathways to social anxiety and irritability: The role of ERN (Filippi et al., 2020) included an error. The authors identified an error in one of the scripts used to process the event-related potential (ERP) data in the original manuscript (Buzzell et al., 2017). A typo in one of the MATLAB scripts caused one of the seven electrodes going into the error-related negativity (ERN) ERP cluster to be from an incorrect scalp location (computing the cluster relies on indexing into a matrix and one of the indices were off by a value of 1). This mistake ultimately impacts the ERN variable described in the original article (Filippi et al., 2020). Given that only one of the 7 electrodes in the cluster was wrong, after correcting this error, the original and corrected ERN variables for the sample used in this paper correlate highly (n = 127, r = .99, p < .001). Similarly, after re-running all analyses in the main text and supplement using the corrected variable, we find that all primary results involving the ERN (interactions, follow-up correlations, and partial correlation tests) remain unchanged in terms of significance. It is worth noting that while one of the control analyses does change from p < .05 to p = .06, the associated follow-up partial correlation tests remain unchanged in terms of significance. Thus, there are no changes in the interpretation or conclusions drawn from the manuscript as a result of correcting the error with the ERN variable. Please note that this is an author-initiated correction, in line with the principles of open science and to ensure the validity of any future metaanalytic work based on this manuscript. Changes to the originally published article and supplement are listed below in red font.
