Abstract

In the original published version of this article, detailed information regarding Ministry of Education and IRB approval, parental consent, and the data collection period were not included in the Methods section which has now been added to section 2.1. Participants. The original manuscript showed the following section: 2.1. Participants Data were collected from 1151 normal stream students in five Singapore secondary schools. The sample comprised of 679 males and 444 females (28 did not state their gender), ranging from 13 to 17 years old (M = 14.69, SD =.58). Prior to the sample collection, approvals from the university's Institutional Review Board and the Ministry of Education were attained. The heads of departments for Math were then contacted to arrange for the administration of the questionnaire. Participants took about 20 min to complete the questionnaires. Before responding to the questionnaires, students provided informed consent after having been informed of the nature of the research project, that participation in the study was voluntary, that they could withdraw at any time, and that their confidentiality would be maintained. The corrected version of this section can be found below: 2.1. Participants Data were collected from 1151 normal stream students in five Singapore secondary schools from March to December 2013. The sample comprised of 679 males and 444 females (28 did not state their gender), ranging from 13 to 17 years old (M = 14.69, SD =.58). Prior to the sample collection, approvals were attained from the Nanyang Technological University Institutional Review Board (ref#: IRB-2013–01–009) and the Ministry of Education, Singapore (project#: OER 21/12 WCK). The heads of departments for Math were then contacted to arrange for the administration of the questionnaire. Participants took about 20 min to complete the questionnaires. Before responding to the questionnaires, students provided informed consent after having been informed of the nature of the research project, that participation in the study was voluntary, that they could withdraw at any time, and that their confidentiality would be maintained. Parental consent was also obtained for all minor participants. The authors apologize for the original omission. Both the HTML and PDF versions of the article have been updated to correct the errors.
