Correction to: Motivation and Emotion (2020) 44:491–507 https://doi.org/10.1007/s11031-020-09822-w

The author would like to correct the errors in the publication of the original article. The corrected details are given below.

• (a) Page 498: “Out of the total sample (N = 326), n = 225” should be changed to: “Out of the total sample (N = 326), n = 224”.

• (b) Page 498: “and at least n = 49 students answered only at T1” should be corrected to: “and at least n = 48 students answered only at T1”

• (c) Page 498: “A one-way ANOVA revealed no significant mean differences between the initial sample at T1 and those who left the current study at T2 or T3 regarding dropout intention, F(2, 325) = .59, p = .56, expectancy, F(2, 325) = .71, p = .49, intrinsic value, F(2, 325) = .05, p = .95, attainment value F(2, 325) = 1.18, p = .31, utility value F(2, 325) = 2.98, p = .05, and study cost, F(2, 325) = .12, p = .89.” should be corrected to: “A one-way ANOVA revealed no significant mean differences between the initial sample at T1 and those who left the current study at T2 or T3 regarding dropout intention, F(2, 323) = 0.62, p = .54, expectancy, F(2, 323) = 0.65, p = .52, intrinsic value, F(2, 323) = 0.14, p = .87, attainment value F(2, 323) = 0.51, p = .60, utility value F(2, 323) = 3.05, p = .05, and study cost, F(2, 323) = 0.66, p = .52.”

• (d) Page 498: There are minor errors in Table 1 regarding the reported descriptive mean values of dropout intention. The corrected values are given below.

  Table 1 Descriptive statistics of all variables at all measurement times

• (e) Page 500: The minor errors in the reported descriptive mean values of dropout intention (d) affected also the intercorrelations between dropout intention and the time varying variables at all measurement times in Table 2. We conveniently present the corrected correlations in Table 2.

  Table 2 Intercorrelations of all time varying variables at all measurement times

• (f) Page 501: The minor errors in the reported descriptive mean values of dropout intention (d) affected also the intercorrelations between dropout intention and the time invariant variables at all measurement times in Table 3. We conveniently present the corrected correlations in Table 3.
