A path model links identification, authenticity and credibility to hedonic and informative value, then behavioural intentions.The path model contains six constructs, Identification, Authenticity, Credibility, Hedonic value, Informative value and Behavioral intentions. Identification leads to Hedonic value with a path coefficient of 0.626 asterisk. Authenticity leads to Hedonic value with a path coefficient of 0.202 asterisk and to Informative value with a path coefficient of 0.473 asterisk. Credibility leads to Informative value with a path coefficient of 0.362 asterisk. Hedonic value has R squared 0.581 and leads to Behavioral intentions with a path coefficient of 0.393 asterisk. Informative value has R squared 0.614 and leads to Behavioral intentions with a path coefficient of 0.317 asterisk. Behavioral intentions have R squared 0.384. A note states that the asterisk indicates p value less than 0.05.
