In the above article (Tucker-Drob et al. (Reference Tucker-Drob2017) the authors mistakenly reported 90% in place of 95% confidence intervals. The article has been corrected below to report 95% confidence intervals in Table 1, Table 3, and Table S1 of the online supplement. In addition, Figure 1 of the article has been updated so that the gray bands reflect 95% confidence intervals. All parameter estimates and p values originally reported are correct. All inferences and conclusions are therefore unchanged.

Table 1. Descriptive statistics, phenotypic correlations, and cross-twin correlations

Note. Sample means and +/-1 SD range were computed after cortisol and cortisone were square root and log transformed, respectively, and winsorized. We then exponentiated (cortisol) or squared (cortisone) the calculated values in order to return them to their original metric. Cross-twin and phenotypic correlations were estimated from models that controlled for sex-specific linear effects of age. For cross-twin and phenotypic correlations cortisone and cortisol were square root and log transformed, respectively, and winsorized.

Table 3. Unstandardized Parameter Estimates from Sex, Age, and SES Moderation Models

Note. 95% CI = 95% confidence interval. p-value = two-tailed probability of Type-I error. A = additive genetic; C = shared environment; E = non-shared environment. Results are presented for preferred (based on model comparisons) age and sex moderation models. Results are presented for the preferred age, sex, and SES moderation models based on model comparisons. The preferred sex model allowed for moderation of only cortisone ACE estimates, while the preferred age moderation model estimated age moderation for cortisol, cortisone, and the ACE correlations. The preferred SES model did not allow for moderation by SES of any parameters; however, results are also provided for a model that allowed SES to moderate cortisol, cortisone, and the ACE correlations. Sex was effects coded (female = −.5, male = .5) such that the main effects parameters of A, C, and E represent population-mean effects (assuming an equal sex distribution in the population) and interaction effects of sex by A, C, and E represent the sex difference in the corresponding parameter value. Age was centered at 8 years of age to reflect the lowest observed integer value in the sample. Thus the main effects parameters of A, C, and E represent model-implied biometric effects at age 8 years, and interaction effects of age by A, C, and E represent the difference in the corresponding parameter value for each additional year of age.
