Erratum to: Soc Psychiatry Psychiatr Epidemiol (2017) 52:319–327 DOI 10.1007/s00127-016-1324-2
In the original publication there was an error in the calculation of scores for a number of the CMNI subscales and consequently the overall scale score. Recalculating the scores did not alter the substantive finding, and largely resulted in only small adjustments to estimates. Tables 1 and 2 are revised to show the corrected values, and revisions to the text reflecting these changes are noted.
Consequently the following updates to the text also apply:
Page 319: Abstract, results section: (AOR 1.33; 95% CI 1.25–1.42).
Page 322, para 7: “Average” in terms of conformity to masculine norms (mean 27.0; SD 6.5).
Page 322, para 7: They showed below average conformity on some factors [e.g., playboy (mean 1.6; SD 1.4)] but above average on others [e.g. pursuit of status (mean 3.2; SD 1.1)].
Page 322, para 8: Table 2 shows the results of the logistic regression analysis. In the univariate analysis, the masculinity factors of playboy, power over women, violence and emotional control and self-reliance conferred risk for suicidal thinking, and risk-taking and pursuit of status were protective against it. After controlling for each of the other factors on the CMNI-22 and for the other covariates, three masculinity factors remained significant, namely self-reliance (AOR 1.33; 95% CI 1.25–1.42), heterosexual presentation (AOR 0.94; 95% CI 0.89–0.99) and status seeking (AOR 0.91; 95% CI 0.85–0.99).
Page 322, para 9: These were not being married or in a de facto relationship (AOR 1.40; 95% CI 1.19–1.65).
Page 324, para 1: 12 months (AOR 1.89; 95% CI 1.62–2.21), using alcohol at harmful/hazardous levels (AOR 1.42; 95% CI 1.23–1.65), and having experienced symptoms of depression in the previous 12 months (AOR 4.80; 95% CI (4.10–5.61)). Residing in an area of the least socio-economic disadvantage was protective (AOR 0.75; 95% CI 0.58–0.96), as was having relatively high levels of social support (AOR 0.98; 95% CI 0.98–0.98).
Page 324, para 2: This had no bearing on the findings; self-reliance remained the only masculinity factor that was associated with increased suicidal thinking (AOR 1.33; 95% CI 1.25–1.42).
Page 324, para 4: Using these dichotomised factor scores, self-reliance remained the only factor that was significantly associated with increased suicidal thinking (AOR 1.75; 95% CI 1.50–2.04). When we treated T-scores above 75 as reflecting extreme conformity, the same finding was true; self-reliance alone stood out (AOR 1.75; 95% CI 1.50–2.04).
