Correction: Lee, J. et al. Acute Effects of Exposure to a Traditional Rural Environment on Urban Dwellers: A Crossover Field Study in Terraced Farmland. Int. J. Environ. Res. Public Health 2015, 12, 1874–1893

The authors wish to add the following corrections to their paper published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health [1]. When calculating the T-score of Profile of Mood States (POMS) data, an error occurred. The following change should be made to Table 1, Figure 7 and its explanation in the published article. The change does not affect the conclusions of the article in any way.

Table 1.

Figure 7.

Comparison of the Profile of Mood States (POMS) scores after exposure to the rural and urban landscapes. Mean ± SE; N = 11; * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01; Wilcoxon signed-rank test. T–A, tension–anxiety; D, depression; A–H, anger–hostility; F, fatigue; C, confusion; V, vigor.

Table 1 should be replaced with the following:

Figure 7 should be replaced with the following figure:

Lines 10–12 on page 1880 should be replaced with the following text:

The T-score was used for the analysis of the POMS test.

The lines 24–27 in page 1883 should be changed as follows:

In the POMS analysis (Figure 7), significant differences were observed during the post-exposure period between the rural and urban environments, respectively, for all of the subscale scores including those for T–A (42.7 ± 2.3; 50.2 ± 3.8; p < 0.05), D (44.5 ± 2.8; 47.8 ± 4.0; p < 0.05), A–H (40.1 ± 1.7; 47.1 ± 4.4; p < 0.01), V (44.0 ± 2.3; 38.5 ± 2.4; p < 0.05), F (41.5 ± 2.6; 50.7 ± 4.0; p < 0.01), and C (45.6 ± 2.2; 50.9 ± 3.9; p < 0.05). However, no significant differences were observed in the baseline period values between the rural and urban environments, respectively: T–A (46.7 ± 3.2; 44.7 ± 4.4), D (46.8 ± 3.3; 47.2 ± 3.0), A–H (43.8 ± 2.8; 41.5 ± 1.9), V (43.1 ± 2.6; 40.9 ± 2.6), F (47.4 ± 3.9; 46.4 ± 4.2), and C (47.5 ± 2.7; 49.4 ± 3.8).
