Correction to “Peer contagion dynamics in the friendships of children with ADHD”

Abstract

Normand, S., Lambert, M., Guiet, J., Brendgen, M., Bakeman, R., & Mikami, A. Y. (2022). Peer contagion dynamics in the friendships of children with ADHD. Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 63, 1477–1485. https://doi.org/10.1111/jcpp.13597

The observational measures were originally developed by Schneider and colleagues (Fonzi et al., 1997) and the authors have later adapted these measures for children with ADHD (Normand et al., 2011, 2013). The first three paragraphs of the Measures sub-section should have been:

Measures

We filmed the dyads in two tasks, counterbalanced for order. These tasks, originally developed to measure friendship patterns in typically developing children (Fonzi et al., 1997), have since been adapted for children with ADHD (Normand et al., 2011, 2013).

Car-race task (Fonzi et al., 1997). The car-race task simulated a fast-paced, engrossing, and competitive game. Dyads were told that the goal was for each child to be quicker than the other in transporting five blocks across a game table, one at a time in the trunk of a toy truck. The truck needed to travel down a runway from a starting mark to a finish line and back. The runway could not accommodate both trucks side by side and the rules prohibited children from lifting their wheels from the runway.

Toy-sharing task (Fonzi et al., 1997). The toy-sharing task was a cooperative task eliciting negotiation processes used by friends in deciding how they share a limited resource. Dyads were presented with 15 toys appealing to both genders and different ages (e.g., Legos, Trash Pack figurines, Silly Bandz bracelets). The dyad was asked to select five toys that they both liked from the initial 15 and then to come to an agreement about how they would share the toys. Dyads were allowed to take these five toys home.
