Note(s): In Henseler’s MGA method, the p-value lower than 0.05 or higher than 0.95 indicates the 5% level significant differences between specific path coefficients across two groups; p < 0.10
PC, Path coefficient; PE, Perceived enjoyment; PBC, Perceived brand coolness; SEV, Online self-expressive value; PEC, Perceived emotional challenge; BE, Brand equity
