Correction to: Mindfulness
In the published article, the author wishes to correct the scoring scale for DPES (rating items on 1 to 5 not the standard 1 to 7 scale). In the Measure section, the below should be updated:
Current version
The measure of PA was a composite of subscales from the Dispositional Positive Emotions Scale (DPES; Shiota et al., 2006), which ask participants to rate to what extent they agree with a variety of statements on a scale from 1 (strongly disagree) to 7 (strongly agree). We chose to focus on the joy subscale (six items; e.g. “On a typical day, many events make me happy”) and the contentment subscale (five items; e.g. “I am generally a contented person”), as these correspond to high and low arousal PA respectively. The 11 items were added together to form a single DPES PA scale, ranging from 11 to 77.
Proposed revisions
The measure of PA was a composite of subscales from the Dispositional Positive Emotions Scale (DPES; Shiota et al., 2006), which ask participants to rate to what extent they agree with a variety of statements about experience of positive emotions. We chose to focus on the joy subscale (six items; e.g. “On a typical day, many events make me happy”) and the contentment subscale (five items; e.g. “I am generally a contented person”), as these correspond to high and low arousal PA respectively. Each item was rated on a scale from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). This a minor modification to the original DPES validation papers (Shiota et al., 2006), where each item was rated on a scale from 1 (strongly disagree) to 7 (strongly agree), meaning the current data cannot be directly benchmarked against existing normative data on the DPES.
Thus, this erratum is presented to fix the error.
