Note(s): This table presents the results of a finite mixture model. Path coefficients (standard errors in parentheses) refer to three different segments in Panel A; descriptive statistics for the segments are in Panel B. Panel C gives an overview on how the REM constructs differ by segment (ANOVA column = results of the analysis of variance, as a mean comparison across segments). ISI = information search intentions; t[mgp] = t-value for multi-group comparison test. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.001 (two-tailed test)
