Mediation analyses with PROCESS (model 4, each mediator tested separately), b = unstandardized coefficients; all variables centralized, IV = controllability. Included control variables: gender, age, device experience, product category knowledge, sustainability attitude. a: regression of the mediator on controllability in a single linear regression analysis; b: regression of DV on the mediator in a multiple regression analysis; c: regression of DV on controllability in a single linear regression analysis; c’: regression of DV on controllability in a multiple regression analysis; a*b: indirect effect; *Bootstrapping (CI-95%, 5000 samples): LLCI: lower limit, ULCI: upper limit. †Bootstrapping with CI-90% applied to test for the p < .10-level
