Note(s): GPI = Green purchase intention; PRSs = Price sensitivity to green products. Q2predict = Predictive relevance; PLS-SEM = Partial least squares structural equation modelling; LM = Linear model; RMSE = Root mean squared error; PLS-SEM_RMSE must produce smaller values than LM_RMSE, thus generating negative values in PLS-SEM_RMSE–LM_RMSE
