Table 2 Evaluation of measurement and structural model

Measurement	Results	Standard
Outer model
Outer loading	0.504-0.855	> 0.70 (ideal), > 0.50 acceptable for exploratory research
Cronbach’s alpha	0.628-1.00	> 0.60 (exploratory), > 0.70 (confirmatory)
AVE	0.689-1.00	> 0.50
Cross-loadings	Loading on own construct > other constructs	Loading on own construct > other constructs
Inner model
Path coefficient	0.276 (Child growth), 0.583 (Child development)	Values closer to 1 indicate stronger relationships
R2	0.176 (Child growth), 0.339 (Child development)	≥ 0.67 (substantial), ≥ 0.33 (moderate) and ≥ 0.19 (weak)
f2	0.182 (Child growth), 0.514 (Child development)	≥ 0.35 (large), ≥ 0.15 (medium) and ≥ 0.02 (small)
Q2	0.131 (Child growth), 0.187 (Child development)	> 0

AVE: Average variance extracted.
