Fig 2.

Comparison of the model used in [12] and this study’s enhanced model, representing control, independent (IV) and dependent variables (DV).

Arrows indicate that a construct (arrowhead) is being regressed onto another construct (arrow start). a) corresponds to Fig 1 in [12]; used with author’s permission, and format slightly adapted for better comparability]. b) corresponds to the model used in this study. For better readability, the curly bracket substitutes the arrows going from each control variable and IV to each DV. Those IVs and DVs which enhance the model represented by a) are highlighted as a square (and orange) compared to the ovals used in a).
