In testing the structural model we used nested
model tests to assess the fit of the hypothesized
model and altemative models (Maruyama
1997). Nested models help validate the
hypothesized model by comparing the chisquare of reasonable altemative models. Three
models were constructed. Model 1 was a
saturated model, with all paths between
variables specified, including control variables.
Model 2 was the hypothesized model. LISREL
model results from Model 2 suggested that a
slightly modified model would improve the fit.
Therefore we ran a final model. Model 3, with
two additional paths: from Green Lifesfyle to
Green Behavioral Intention and from Gender to
Green Attitude.
