Note(s):

KAP = knowledge; COI = confidence; WTA = willingness; PW = personal way/willpower; CW = collective way/willpower; LW = lack of way/willpower; STEM = Science Technology Engineering maths majors; p-values < 0.05 in italic, p12 p-value of ANOVA test of group 1 versus group 2, other p-values based on Two-sample t-test, ⁵ on five-point Likert scale, ⁷ on seven-point Likert scale, values for LW are reported for reference only as the construct was dropped from Hope’s measurement model due to insufficient factor loading and reliability
