Discriminant validity assessment using HTMT (heterotrait-monotrait) ratio criterion
| Variable | Media type | Physiological arousal | Presence: Self location | Presence: Possible actions | Age | Intention to visit |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Physiological arousal | 0.658 | – | ||||
| Presence: Self location | 0.335 | 0.307 | – | |||
| Presence: Possible actions | 0.196 | 0.145 | 0.857 | – | ||
| Age | 0.024 | 0.133 | 0.138 | 0.301 | – | |
| Intention to visit | 0.228 | 0.163 | 0.438 | 0.338 | 0.246 | – |
| Intention to recommend | 0.272 | 0.336 | 0.484 | 0.310 | 0.022 | 0.722 |

Notes: All the values are below the threshold of 0.85, apart from HTMT value between the two components of Presence (Possible Actions and Self Location). However, this value is still acceptable, given that for conceptually similar constructs a threshold of 0.90 is usually adopted (Hair et al., 2021a, 2021b)
