  1. The reported values are the regression weights (regression beta coefficients). All coefficients are statistically significant at level p < 0.001). Total effects are the effects of a variable (observed or latent) on another variable through the path defined by the model. Total effect is the sum of the direct (path where a direct arrow exists) and indirect (path defined through more than one arrow) effects
