Corrigendum to “Big Five personality and religiosity: Bidirectional cross-lagged effects and their moderation by culture”

Entringer, T. M., Gebauer, J. E., & Kroeger, H. (2023). Big Five personality and religiosity: Bidirectional cross-lagged effects and their moderation by culture. Journal of Personality, 91(3), 736–752.

After publication of the article “Big Five personality and religiosity: bidirectional cross-lagged effects and their moderation by culture” (2023), Richard Lucas and Julia Rohrer have made us aware that our cross-lagged panel models were not entirely specified as we had intended. Specifically, those models specified synchronous correlations among the Big Five traits at the first and last waves, but not at the two waves in-between. We are thankful to Lucas and Rohrer for bringing this issue to our attention (we had intended to include synchronous correlations among the Big Five traits for all waves, but accidently used inappropriate lavaan code to specify those correlations).

All results of our cross-lagged panel models when synchronous correlations among the Big Five traits were specified for all four waves can be accessed here: https://osf.io/gn8xa/?view_only=27038964954d4485a2d418dd3a469838

We apologize for this error.
