The dataset contains the de-identified variables used for the Covariance-Based Structural Equation Modeling (CB-SEM) and Variance-Based Structural Equation Modeling (VB-SEM) analyses reported in the paper. It includes measurement items used to construct the behavioural constructs examined in the study, as well as relevant socio-demographic variables. The dataset enables replication of Structural equation modelling analyses (CB-SEM and VB-SEM).
Detailed descriptions of all measurement items, construct operationalisation, scale anchors, and reverse-coded items are provided in Appendix A of the published article. Users are advised to consult Appendix A for full documentation of variable definitions and survey instrument details.
All data have been fully de-identified in accordance with Human Research Ethics Approval. Researchers using this dataset are requested to cite the associated published article.
