In “Racial/Ethnic Differences in Expectations Regarding Aging Among Older Adults,” DOI: 10.1093/geront/gnx078, the following sentence included the incorrect measure of perceived support, and therefore the wrong in text citation.
“We used the overall Interpersonal Support Evaluation List score (ISEL; Cohen & Hoberman, 1983) to assess perceived support; one participant did not respond.”
The correct sentence and reference is below:
“We used the overall perceived support score from a scale validated for use with ethnically diverse samples (Wong, Nordstokke, Gregorich, & Pérez-Stable, 2010); one participant did not respond.”
