  1. (A) The different constructs analysed and the items which form each one of them. (B) Individual reliability of the indicators. (C) The measurement of discriminant validity checks if the constructs deemed not to be related are, in fact, not. (D) and (E) The measurement of internal consistency determines whether the items that measure the construct are similar in their scores
  2. All loadings of reflective composites are significant at the level of 1% based on a two-tailed test [t (0.01;10,000) = 2.577]
  3. rRelatively significant formative items
