Convergent and discriminant analyses of beliefs, attitudes and intentions measures at baseline and follow-up.

Baseline Follow-up
Beliefs Attitudes Intentions Beliefs Attitudes Intentions
Beliefs 0.565 Beliefs 0.489
Attitudes 0.473 0.540 Attitudes 0.479 0.482
Intentions 0.209 0.164 0.664 Intentions 0.233 0.234 0.723

The results in the diagonals reflect the average variance extracted (AVE) by items within each construct and the results below the diagonals reflect the squared correlations (SC) between constructs. AVEs and SCs were computed after fitting separate measurement models for baseline quit intention, anti-industry beliefs and anti-industry attitudes and follow-up quit intention, anti-industry beliefs and anti-industry attitudes, omitting covariances between items
