Abstract: of 10 and then re-scored as reported just above, with the MD total score ultimately ranging between 0 and 100.After making this amendment, the number of participants meeting or exceeding the cut-off of 51 needed to classify people as probable MDers (Schimmenti et al., 2020) was then reduced from 252 to 190 participants.In this regard, changes in the distribution of the demographic data (e.g., gender, relationship status, educational level, etc.) were minimal, with variations being all below 2% (the sole exception was the distribution of the people residing in North Italy, which showed a variation of 5.1% that is not relevant in terms of study aim or hypothesis).Moreover, Hedges' g calculations were performed to assess the difference in effect size on all continuous variables considered (including the sample's age); results showed that said differences can be regarded as null as all were below a Hedges' g value of 0.20 and instead ranged between 0.03 and 0.15.Taken this, we can confirm that the sole relevant variation from the previously to the currently considered sample is their size.Following the above amendment and the evaluation of the samples' differences, all the analyses presented in the paper were re-run, confirming the overall conclusions reported in the paper.Nonetheless, given the decrease in sample size, few changes in the values and in the significant associations observed were identified; the main differences that emerged are in the correlation between MD and depressive symptoms and in the indirect effect in the association between Difficulty pursuing Goals and No trust in Strategy selection on Negative Problem-Solving orientation, which were no longer significant.The specific discrepancies between the published results and the recalculated values are listed in detail hereafter.
