Model Relationship Results
Figure 2 shows the standardized parameter
estimates and t-values of the final model.
Model 3. Table 5 summarizes the hypotheses
testing results. The proposed framework
suggested that green lifesfyle varies for
different demographic segments. However, Hi
was not supported. Females were not found to
lead greener lifesfyles than males. The second
hypothesis was supported, higher income was
related to green lifesfyle. Hypotheses 3 and 4
were both supported. Practicing everyday green
activities positively infiuenced valuing green
attributes in a gift calendar (H3). The
standardized path coefficient between these two
variables suggests that Green Attitude increased
6.7 percent with every 10 percent increase in
Green Lifesfyle. In addition, valuing green
attributes positively influenced the perception
that green attributes were important when
buying a calendar (H4). Based on the path
coefficients. Green Behavioral Intention
increased 4.8 percent with every 10 percent
increase in Green Attitude.
In addition to the hypothesized relationships,
two additional statistically
significant
relationships were found. Gender was found to
be directly related to Green Attitude. Females,
more so than males, found green attributes
important. In addition Green Lifesfyle was
found to be directly related to Green Behavioral
Intention. Green Behavioral Intention increased
3.6 percent for every 10 percent increase in
everyday green lifesfyle activities. Finally, the
Marketing Management Journal, Fall 2011
squared multiple correlation (SMC) of Green
Attitude (0.48), suggests that variation in that
constmct is well-explained by Green Lifesfyle
and Gender. Green Attitude and Green
Lifesfyle also explained much of the variation
in Green Behavioral Intention, with an SMC of
0.60.
