NOTICE OF CORRECTION: RECTIFYING ERRORS IN THE RESEARCH ON THE MUTUALLY INFLUENTIAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN DEPRESSION AND EDUCATION IN CHINA

Abstract

This abstract presents a correction to the published manuscript, addressing erroneous numerical data reported in Tables 1 and 3. The errors originated from manual entries during the tabulation process. To rectify these inaccuracies, the last two sentences in the first paragraph of the results section are revised accordingly. The corrected sentences indicate that the respondents' average years of education in the GSCF survey amounted to 11.4, which closely approximates a high school education spanning 12 years. Furthermore, the average depression levels exhibited no significant change between 2009 and 2015. Despite the persistence of relatively low depression levels in 2015, with an average rating score of approximately 2 for each depressive symptom, this correction has no bearing on other sections of the manuscript. It is emphasized that the errors do not impact the automatically generated figures derived from analytical software or the results and conclusions drawn from them. The purpose of this abstract is to provide an accurate representation of the corrections made to the aforementioned manuscript, ensuring the integrity and reliability of the study's findings
