Upbeat and happy: Arousal as an important factor in studying attention

McConnell, M. M. & Shore, D. I. (2011). Upbeat and happy: Arousal as an important factor in studying attention. Cognition and Emotion, 25(7), 1184–1195. doi:10.1080/02699931.2010.524396

The authors would like to point out that in this paper, some data in Table 3 are incorrect as the data in the table and Figure 2 are discordant. The error arose from a miscoding of data in the matlab program that produced the table for publication. The authors would like to thank Uta Wolfensteller and her student for alerting them to this discrepancy. The corrected Table 3 should read as follows:

Table 3.  Trimmed mean scores for alerting, orienting, and executive function networks as a function of emotional valence and arousal. Standard error values are in parentheses

		Executive function
Trimmed mean RTs		Incongruent	Congruent
Positive mood	High arousal	601.2 (20.5)	475.2 (14.4)
	Low arousal	575.9 (11.2)	472.1 (11.1)
Negative mood	High arousal	575.4 (16.0)	479.2 (13.6)
	Low arousal	602.9 (12.8)	489.8 (12.2)
Errors		Executive function
		Incongruent	Congruent
Positive mood	High arousal	4.8% (1.4)	2.9% (0.7)
	Low arousal	8.46% (2.0)	4.49% (0.9)
Negative mood	High arousal	5.94% (1.9)	3.06% (1.1)
	Low arousal	4.93% (1.3)	2.71% (0.8)
