Exploration of causal effects of transparency on different components of government trust. Summary of the three government trust structural equation models tested to explore the causal effects of transparency on public health behavior: (A) national institutional trust, (B) national political leader trust, and (C) local institutional trust. Standardized coefficients and their significance are reported for each pathway (** p < 0.01; *** p < 0.001). The p values in (A) and (C) are all less than 0.001. In (B), the p value for the −0.13 coefficient is 0.060, for the 0.20 coefficient is 0.003, and for the 0.88 coefficient is less than 0.001. The RMSEA for each model is (A) 0.074, (B) 0.064, and (C) 0.058 (with all models having an RMSEA upper bound <0.08 in their confidence intervals), and the CFI for each model was (A) 0.961, (B) 0.971, and (C) 0.972. Thus, both RMSEA and CFI each indicate a high-quality fit for all three models.
