Correction to: Scientific Reports https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-017-05603-7, published online 13 July 2017
The original version of this Article contained errors. An incorrect molecular weight was used to convert testosterone concentrations from pg/ML to pmol/L. Since the error was only in the conversion ratio, all originally reported patterns remain unchanged. There are no changes in the F-value, p-value of the general linear model, and rank correlation coefficient (except one rounding error in the legend of Figure 2).
The corrected Figure 2 and Figure 4 and accompanying legends appear below.
The relationship between baseline testosterone level and the mean of the offers in the four games for each seniority level. Spearman’s correlation coefficient: first years (rs = 0.50, p = 0.09), second years (rs = 0.45, p = 0.04), third years (rs = 0.29, p = 0.32), fourth years (rs = 0.18, p = 0.41).
Plot of the Pre-T (pmol/L) levels (X-axis) and overall levels of acquiescence (Y-axis) in each year. R-squares were calculated from univariate linear regression analysis. Spearman’s correlation coefficient: first years (rs = 0.40, p = 0.20), second years (rs = 0.28, p = 0.24), third years (rs = 0.68, p = 0.01), fourth years (rs = − 0.40, p = 0.07).
Figure 2 legend,
“The relationship between baseline testosterone level and the mean of the offers in the four games for each seniority level. Spearman’s correlation coefficient: first years (rs = 0.50, p = 0.09), second years (rs = 0.45, p = 0.04), third years (rs = 0.28, p = 0.32), fourth years (rs = 0.18, p = 0.41).”
should read:
“The relationship between baseline testosterone level and the mean of the offers in the four games for each seniority level. Spearman’s correlation coefficient: first years (rs = 0.50, p = 0.09), second years (rs = 0.45, p = 0.04), third years (rs = 0.29, p = 0.32), fourth years (rs = 0.18, p = 0.41).”
Additionally, correcting the conversion changes testosterone values, their log transformation, the sum-of-squares, and the mean squares in the general linear model with testosterone. Note that the differences in Supplementary Figure S5 and S6 are slight.
The corrected Supplementary Figure S5 and S6 appear below.

Finally, there were errors in Supplementary Tables S2, S4, S6, S7. In Supplementary Tables S2, S4, S6, Seniority SS, Seniority MS, Game SS, Game MS, Seniority * Game SS, Seniority * Game MS values were incorrect. In Supplementary Table S7, the testosterone values were incorrect. The corrected Supplementary Tables S2, S4, S6, S7 appear below.
