† Ns are reduced for correlations with RFM in Datasets 1 (N = 102) and 2 (N = 99) due to missing RFM data.
†† Differing superscript letters in ‘habit-behaviour’ column indicate differences in the magnitude of habit-behaviour correlations at p < .05 (see [37]). Correlations with the transport-specific RFM were only available in Datasets 1 and 2. All correlations significant at p < .01.
††† All regression models were significant at p < .001.
†††† ‘Moderation effect’ refers to the predictive impact of a means-centred habit x intention interaction term on behaviour, controlling for habit and intention as independent predictors. Simple slope coefficients are provided for significant moderation effects only (p < .05).
