Correction: Sundermann, A.; Fischer, D. How Does Sustainability Become Professionally Relevant? Exploring the Role of Sustainability Conceptions in First Year Students. Sustainability 2019, 11, 5155

The authors would like to make the following corrections about the published paper [1]. The changes are as follows:

(1)

Replacing the “All 14 different major subjects offered at the university were represented (n = 1294)” in the Section 3.3 “Sample” on page 10.

• with

All 11 major subjects from one B.A. study program and three teacher training study programs offered at the university were represented (n = 1294).

(2)

Authors Replacing: Authors would like to change 18 parts of the table content, so we need to replace the original Table 3 in Section 3.3 “Sample” on page 10:

Deleting two sentences in Section 4.1 “Descriptive Statistics for Independent Variables” on page 11.

• The deleted parts read as follows:

• Median values have been compared with Wilcoxon ranked sign test for paired samples because the scores for environmental (D (1.154) = 0.20, p < 0.001), sociocultural (D (1.154) = 0.11, p < 0.001) and economic dimensions of sustainability conceptions (D (1.154) = 0.10, p < 0.001) were deviating significantly from normal.
• All median values were significantly different (p < 0.001) and effect sizes varied from r = 0.57 to r = 0.36.

(4)

Adding a new paragraph in Section 4.1 “Descriptive Statistics for Independent Variables” on page 11 as the last paragraph of the section:

Median values have been compared with the Wilcoxon ranked sign test for paired samples because the scores for environmental, sociocultural and economic dimensions of sustainability conceptions were deviating significantly from normal, as indicated by the Shapiro-Wilk test (all p < 0.001). The Wilcoxon ranked sign test indicated that the medians were significantly different (Z_Econ/Env = −27.76, r = −0.82; Z_Env/Soccul = −24.09, r = −0.71; Z_Econ/Soccul = −17.31, r = −0.51; p < 0.001).
