Table 2.Summary of path analysis (standardized coefficients β)
*p < .05; ** p < .01; ***p<.001; n.s. p> .10 The statistical results derived from Table 2 are consolidated in the simplified path analysis model presented in Fig. 2. This graphical model reveals interesting findings in terms of relationships among variables, because there are strongly, partially and weakly significant relationships.
