Zondag, H. J. (2013) Narcissism and boredom revisited: an exploration of correlates of overt and covert narcissism among Dutch university students. Psychological Reports: Mental & Physical Health, 112, 2, 563–576. On pages 566–567, Hypothesis 1. through the end of Hypothesis 3., should be corrected to read as follows: Hypothesis 1. There will be a positive correlation between covert narcissism and boredom, as was shown in research by Wink and Donahue (1995, 1997). Covert narcissism has also been negatively correlated to psychological wellbeing (Rose, 2002). Since boredom is closely related to a lack of psychological well-being, a positive correlation is also expected between boredom and covert narcissism. Hypothesis 2. Boredom may also be expected to be positively correlated with overt narcissism, as Wink and Donahue have found (1995, 1997). However, an alternative hypothesis can be drawn up for the relation between overt narcissism and boredom. Overt narcissism has several times been found to be positively correlated with psychological well-being (Rose, 2002), which, in turn, is correlated with the absence of boredom (Vodanovich, 2003). A negative correlation between overt narcissism and boredom therefore seems to be another possibility. Hypothesis 3. In regard to the correlations between overt and covert narcissism on the one hand and boredom on the other, no sex differences are to be expected. Correlations between narcissism and other variables are generally found to be equal for men and women (Campbell & Foster, 2007). So there will be no sex differences in correlations between narcissism and other study variables. Table 1 was published with correct data, but should be aligned as follows: [Table: see text]
