Corrigendum: Hair and Salivary Testosterone, Hair Cortisol, and Externalizing Behaviors in Adolescents

PMCID: PMC7309158  PMID: 30169117

Original article: Grotzinger, A. D., Mann, F. D., Patterson, M. W., Tackett, J. L., Tucker-Drob, E. M., & Harden, K. P. (2018). Hair and salivary testosterone, hair cortisol, and externalizing behaviors in adolescents. Psychological Science, 29, 688–699. doi:10.1177/0956797617742981

In the original article, there were five instances in which the unit of measure for hair cortisol and testosterone was given as pg/ml instead of pg/mg. The following are corrected versions of these passages:

  1. “The lower limit of sensitivity for both hair testosterone and cortisol was 0.1 pg/mg (Gao et al., 2013).” (p. 691)

  2. “Participants with below-threshold values were, therefore, given a value of 0.1 pg/mg, because excluding these participants altogether would have omitted informative data and potentially biased results.” (p. 691)

  3. “Sensitivity analyses excluding participants below the 0.1 pg/mg threshold for hair testosterone also indicated the same general pattern of findings, with two notable exceptions (see Table S5 in the Supplemental Material).” (p. 693)

  4. Table 2, Column 1, Row 3: “Hair testosterone (pg/mg)” (p. 694)

  5. Table 2, Column 1, Row 4: “Cortisol (pg/mg)” (p. 694)

The article will be updated to reflect these changes.
