In this article, several errors were noted after publication.
1) In the Data, Methods, and Results sections of this article, the term “percentage foreign born” was incorrect and has been changed below to “proportion of foreign born” (as noted in bold). P. 4: “In this study I analyze two items that have consistently been used in the literature as predictors of peoples’ attitudes toward immigrants: P. 5: “A ‘model building’ approach was taken, whereby multiple data analysis runs are conducted in a stepwise fashion with growing complexity: first, an unconditional model is created and tested against different error structures to obtain good model fit, then the predictors P. 6: “This was done by taking the observed state-level measurement for both P. 6: “Although these two variables are both statistically different from zero (at the <.5 level), they each have substantively small regression coefficients (0.02 for
2) In the third paragraph of the Results section, the decrease in positive attitudes toward immigrants was incorrectly stated as 4 percent instead of .4 percent. The correct value is in bold in the sentence below.
“In this case, states that saw a one-unit increase (of immigrants per 1,000 people) between time periods saw a decrease in positive attitudes toward immigrants by .
3) In Table 2, the “between-state foreign-born” value for Model 2 b was incorrectly labeled with an asterisk. The correct line for Table 2 appears below.
