Erratum

In Volume 49, Issue 1: “Who Believes the Hype? An Experimental Exami-

nation of How Language Affects Investor Judgments,” by Jeffrey Hales, Xi

(Jason) Kuang, and Shankar Venkataraman

In tables 2 and 4, we inadvertently used t-statistics instead of the F-statistics

associated with the p-values reported. In addition, the error term for an

ANOVA was reported incorrectly in table 4. The corrected statistics are as

follows:

1. Page 239, first paragraph: t=1.97 should be F1,68 =5.23; t=0.10

should be F1,68 =0.01.

2. Page 240, panel B of table 2: t=1.97 should be F=5.23; t=0.10

should be F=0.01.

3. Page 245, panel A of table 4: 22,863.02 should be 860.54.

4. Page 245, panel B of table 4: t=2.49 should be F=5.64; t=0.98

should be F=1.06.

5. Page 245, first paragraph: t=2.49 should be F1, 61 =5.64; t=0.98

should be F1, 61 =1.06.

These errors are ours and do not influence the statistical inferences or con-

clusions presented in the article. We apologize for the errors.
