Hypothesized model of the effects of IVE exposure relative to the INFO condition.
Squares represent observed constructs and oval shapes represent latent constructs.

Table 1.
AVE, Cronbach’s alpha and standardized factor loadings (stdYX) for the latent factors, after removing poorly fitting items.
Items without a factor loading where excluded from analysis.

Structural Equation Model of model 4 with standardized regression weights [StdYX].
Squares represent observed constructs and oval shapes represent latent constructs. Significance levels: * = p < .05; ** = p < .01; *** = p < .001.

Structural Equation Model of model 6 with standardized regression weights [StdYX].
Squares represent observed constructs and oval shapes represent latent constructs. Significance levels: * = p < .05; ** = p < .01; *** = p < .001.
