Due to a coding error, certain data and analysis were incorrect in Table 4, as well as Tables D1 and F1 in the online Supplemental Material, in the published article. The corrected Table 4 is provided below. The corrected Tables D1 and F1 are provided in the online Supplemental Material. The errors are small and do not in any way change the overall conclusions of the article. The changes are not listed in full detail due to the limited significance.

Note. Heteroscedastic robust standard errors are in parentheses. We use linear probability models to predict the binary outcome. The binary outcome “Choose” was created from a Likert-type scale asking the degree of preference for Profile A versus Profile B. Respondent controls include gender, age, race/ethnicity, and binary indicators for the following: college degree, fulltime work status, job making hiring decisions, self-employed, job with managerial role, whether they have hired a company or worker online, whether they have taken an online class, and whether they had heard of Coursera prior to this study.
