Chang, K., & Zhao, L. (2024). The HEXACO model of personality is associated with loneliness in a university setting. Social Behavior and Personality: An international journal, 52(1), e12741. https://doi.org/10.2224/sbp.12741
The above article has been retracted by agreement between the publisher of this journal, Scientific Journal Publishers Limited, the journal’s Editor-in-Chief, Dr. Robert A. C. Stewart, and Managing Editor, Alexandra Cheyne, and the submitting author, Longlong Zhao. Concerns were raised by a reader about the reliability of the dataset, and after investigation and analysis of the item-level dataset by external reviewers and journal editors, discrepancies were revealed that cannot be explained by sampling errors or naturally occurring fluctuations. These anomalies in the Zhao data suggest that both the data and resulting conclusions cannot be considered reliable. For this reason, retraction was agreed upon.
