The author and editors apologize sincerely for any perception by readers that the article insinuates any research dishonesty or misconduct on the part of Verhulst, Eaves, and Hatemi in relation to their paper “Correlation not Causation: The Relationship between Personality Traits and Political Ideologies” (Verhulst, Eaves, and Hatemi 2012). This was entirely unintended. The article has been corrected by re-casting the second sentence of paragraph two, to completely separate the LaCour fabrication from Verhulst, Eaves, and Hatemi’s coding error. We wish to reiterate that the erratum to Verhulst, Eaves and Hatemi’s work (Verhulst, Eaves, and Hatemi 2015) was issued to address a coding mistake, and not reflective of any dishonesty.
The author regrets this error. The original version has been updated.
