PSYCHOLOGICAL AND COGNITIVE SCIENCES Correction for “Harm to others outweighs harm to self in moral decision making,” by Molly J. Crockett, Zeb Kurth-Nelson, Jenifer Z. Siegel, Peter Dayan, and Raymond J. Dolan, which appeared in issue 48, December 2, 2014, of Proc Natl Acad Sci USA (111:17320–17325; first published November 17, 2014; 10.1073/pnas.1408988111).
The authors note that they inadvertently omitted references to two articles by FeldmanHall et al. and Vlaev, respectively. The authors would like to cite the articles in the following sentence added to the first paragraph of the article: “Past studies have examined people’s judgments in hypothetical scenarios, but recent work suggests hypothetical judgments cannot accurately predict real decisions (45, 46).”
The complete references appear below.
