corrigendum to: childhood adversity, self-esteem, and diurnal cortisol profiles across the life span (psychological science, (2016), 27, 9, (1249-1265), 10.1177/0956797616658287)

It has come to the authors’ attention that the two neuroticism items in study 2 were negatively correlated with each other (r = −.202, p < .001) instead of positively correlated, as originally reported. for this reason, the authors reran the study 2 analyses treating the two items as separate covariates instead of combining them into a single scale. the article is now being corrected to reflect the results of this reanalysis. in addition, some corrections and clarifications are being made in the sections presenting the method and results for study 1. the authors note that, apart from some minor fluctuations in regression estimates and p values, the new pattern of results for study 2 did not change from the pattern of results observed in the original analyses. thus, the scientific conclusions presented in the original article remain unchanged.
