Formative construct and their respective items
| Self-interest | VIF | Weights and significance | t-value | p-value | 95% confidence interval |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SELF1. I participate in social networks to … to store information important to me | 1.003 | 0.814** | 7.019 | 0.000 | 0.574–0.953 |
| SELF2. I participate in social networks to … to get rewards | 1.003 | 0.536** | 3.407 | 0.000 | 0.263–0.780 |
| Self-interest | VIF | Weights and significance | 95% confidence interval | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.003 | 0.814** | 7.019 | 0.000 | 0.574–0.953 | |

Note(s): **p < 0.01: (t (4,999) = = 2.33). Thus, each one of the items that help to build up the formative construct of self-interest adds to the building up of the construct. Notes. VIF = Variance inflation factor. VIFs lower than the strictest threshold of 3.3 indicate that multicollinearity is not a problem, so each item provide information to build up the construct
