In the above article, an inaccuracy appears in the description of Zuzana Sasovova, Ajay Mehra, Stephen P. Borgatti, and Michaéla C. Schippers’s 2010 article “Network Churn: The Effects of Self-monitoring Personality on Brokerage Dynamics” (published in Administrative Science Quarterly, Volume 55, No. 4).
Specifically, in the third paragraph on page 743, the text states that Sasovova et al. “used a frequentist procedure called the quadratic assignment procedure (QAP)” to test the hypothesis that high self-monitors are more likely than low self-monitors to attract new friends and occupy new bridging positions and, as a consequence, their reported parameter estimates and standard errors are likely biased. However, Sasovova et al. did not use QAP for the purpose of testing this hypothesis and, therefore, their use of QAP could not have biased parameter estimates and standard errors related to this test.
