There is an error in affiliation 2 for authors Elisabeth Hahn and Frank M. Spinath. Affiliation 2 should be: Department of Psychology, Saarland University, Saarbrücken, Germany.

There is an error in the fourth sentence of the second paragraph of the Results section. The correct sentence is: Fully standardized, heritability estimates (including additive and non-additive genetic influences) ranged from 31% for ANGER up to 69% for PLAY.

There is an error in the fifth sentence of the second paragraph of the Results section. The correct sentence is: Regarding FEAR, PLAY and SADNESS these genetic influences were in large part of a non-additive nature (between 22% and 68%) while SEEK and CARE showed only small proportions of non-additivity (between 3% and 7%).

There is an error in the seventh sentence of the second paragraph of the Results section. The correct sentence is: In comparison, non-shared environmental influences ranged between 31% (PLAY) and 69% (ANGER).

There is an error in the third sentence of the first paragraph of the Discussion section. The correct sentence is: The lowest heritability estimates are observed for the SEEK, ANGER and SADNESS system ranging between 31 and 40% (corrected between 37% and 58%).

There is an error in the fifth sentence of the first paragraph of the Discussion section. The correct sentence is: The genetic influence on individual differences in the PLAY system is especially pronounced (about .69; corrected .88).
