Correction

PSYCHOLOGICAL AND COGNITIVE SCIENCES Correction for “Americans misperceive racial economic equality” by Michael W. Kraus, Julian M. Rucker, and Jennifer A. Richeson, which was first published September 18, 2017; 10.1073/pnas.1707719114 (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 114, 10324–10331). The authors note that on page 10329, left column, the third paragraph, there is an “error in the syntax of our statistical analyses. When we intended to compare mean differences between items that represented mean estimates of Black–White income inequality rescored to indicate accuracy with population statistics, we actually compared some of these items to items that did not have this calculation applied. The error elicits slightly transformed t-values and effect sizes, although the direction of the effect, overall statistical significance, and our conclusions remain unchanged.” These mean differences should instead appear as “Replicating the prior three studies, current estimates of income racial equality were more optimistic (and inaccurate) than were past estimates, t(201) = 16.104, P < 0.001. As in study 3, experimentally inducing reflection on a similar Black family increased overestimates of Black–White income equality in this mostly White American sample [t(201) = 4.365, P < 0.001, dRM = 0.307], whereas inducing consideration of the persistence of racial discrimination in the United States resulted in estimates of racial income equality that were much closer to reality, t(201) = 7.026, P < 0.001, dRM = 0.494.” The online version has been corrected.
