The statistics showing the effect of experience of sexism on women's social closeness to their female colleagues was reported as: b = −.28, t(370) = −2.42, p = .02, 95% CI [−.50, −.05] This statistic should have been: b = .28, t(370) = 2.42, p = .02, 95% CI [.05, .50] Because of this error, one reported interpretation of this study was that experiences of sexism led women to report weaker closeness with other women at work. However, the interpretation should be: Experiences of sexism led women to report greater closeness with other women at work. Below are the specific corrections related to this error: In section 4.2.1 of the original version, it reads: “Results showed a statistically significant main effect of sexism, b = −.28, t(370) = −2.42, p = .02, 95% CI [−.50, −.05], indicating that recalling sexism led women to report weaker closeness with other women at work, in line with Hypothesis 1.” This text should instead read: “Results showed a statistically significant main effect of sexism, b = .28, t(370) = 2.42, p = .02, 95% CI [.05, .50], indicating that recalling sexism led women to report greater closeness with other women at work, contradicting Hypothesis 1.” In section 4.3 of the original version, it reads: “Here, we found suggestive evidence for Hypothesis 1 on the measure of closeness; experiences of sexism led women to report reduced closeness with their female colleagues in this study. Moreover, we again found evidence in support of our second hypothesis…” This should instead read: “Here, we found that experiences of sexism led women to report increased closeness with their female colleagues in this study, which does not support Hypothesis 1. However, we again found evidence in support of our second hypothesis…” Finally, the following paragraph in section 5 of the original version should now not be included in the article. This paragraph read: “Although evidence for distancing was not consistently found, there was some evidence that experiences with sexism led women to report less closeness with other women in Study 4. This finding is consistent with some past work (Derks, Ellemers et al., 2011; Derks, Van Laar et al., 2011; Parks-Stamm et al., 2007; Doyle & Molix, 2014b). Previous work has shown distancing effects, but this was in the context of male-dominated work environments (Ely, 1994; Derks, Ellemers at al., 2011). The current work was not specifically focused on male-dominated contexts, but still we find some evidence that women may distance themselves from others following experiences of sexism.” These corrections affect the interpretation of one main effect in one of the 3 studies reported in the manuscript. The focus of the manuscript as a whole was on testing whether any effects of experienced sexism at work are moderated by organisational climate. Interactive effects relating to this focus were correctly reported. As such, this error does not affect the overall conclusions of this article. REFERENCE Ciftci, E. E., Barreto, M., Doyle, D.
