In the published article, there was an error in Table 1, “Summary of findings organized by layers of personality and variables.” as published. The table was missing the material on Characteristic adaptations and Narrative identity. The corrected Table 1 and its caption are shown below.

“–”evidence for negative association; “0”: no evidence for directional association; “+”: evidence for positive association; when –, 0, or + are separated by “/”, the study provided mixed evidence for associations [e.g., Lewis et al. (2015) provided evidence for negative and null associations between DBS and novelty-seeking]; References are followed by “–Method/Design”; “Quant” = quantitative methods; “Qual” = qualitative methods; “PVC” = patient valued characteristics (mixed methods); “MA” = meta-analysis; “Ret” = retrospective design; “CS” = Cross-sectional design; “P” = prospective design; “RCT” = randomized clinical trial.

The authors apologize for this error and state that this does not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way. The original article has been updated.
