Correction to: Nature Human Behaviour https://doi.org/10.1038/s41562-021-01122-8, published online 10 May 2021.

In the version of this article initially published, errors occurred in Figs. 2 and 6. Figure 2 showed a lack of alignment between the years presented on gross domestic product (GDP) per capita values across countries. These figures—presented in GDP per capita adjusted for purchasing power parity, measured in international dollars—have now been aligned. This correction was necessary because the most recent year for which GDP data is available from the World Bank is different across countries. The GDP alignment issue will have affected all countries in the dataset, some to a very small (unnoticeable) degree when GDP has not significantly changed year-to-year, but more visibly for countries with strong growth rates (e.g., China). Figure 6 incorrectly indicated that no vaccine for Ebola exists. In fact, the first vaccine against Ebola was approved in the European Union and the USA in 2019. These errors have been corrected in the PDF and HTML versions of this article.
