Notes: The three-item behavioral intention scale was adapted from Ajzen (1991, 2019), Conner and Sparks (2005), Koropp et al. (2014) and Sotiropoulos and d’Astous (2013), mainly. Cronbach’s alpha assesses the internal consistency of the scale items. The scale has an adequate internal consistency as a Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of 0.70 or higher is considered “acceptable” in most social science research situations (Hair et al., 2013). In italics is the mean value of the scale
