Anger

The authors wish to correct a sentence in the third paragraph of the Results section. The correct sentence is "Anger ratings of unfair offers were unrelated to PA, r = .03, P=.86, but were significantly related to NA, r=.36, P=.02.” In other words, individuals with greater dispositional negative affect experienced more state anger in response to unfair offers.
