4 corrections applied: Dweck & Leggett (1988) was published in Psychological Review, not JPSP | Dweck & Leggett (1988) was published in Psychological Review, not JPSP (second occurrence) | Dweck was at the University of Illinois in the early 1980s; she joined Columbia around 1989 | Li & Bates (2019) appeared in Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, not Social Psychological and Personality Science
Beforeco-authored with Ellen Leggett in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology (x2) | Carol Dweck was a psychology professor at Columbia University | published a pre-registered study in Social Psychological and Personality Science
Afterco-authored with Ellen Leggett in Psychological Review (x2) | Carol Dweck was a psychology professor at the University of Illinois | published a pre-registered study in the Journal of Experimental Psychology: General
Why: 3 of 4 named corrections were already live and correct (Psychological Review journal name x2, Li & Bates 2019 correctly in Journal of Experimental Psychology: General in body and bibliography).
However, found and fixed a genuine leftover: a SECOND, separate body sentence later in the article still said 'the finding that Dweck first noticed in her Columbia laboratory in the early 1980s', contradicting the correctly-fixed opening sentence establishing she was at the University of Illinois in the early 1980s (only joining Columbia around 1989).
This same fabrication was independently repeated in the excerpt and meta_description ('In the 1980s, Carol Dweck watched children in her Columbia lab...') and in the seo_keywords field ('Dweck Leggett 1988 JPSP' - wrong journal abbreviation for the corrected 1988 paper).
Fixed all four locations to 'University of Illinois', verified clean on fresh re-fetch and live rendered page.
