Section 8: Model Development Based on the research of Hullett and Bolster (2003) and Polyorat (2007), we examined the factors that may relate to support for a ban on lead shot in the Minnesota farmland zone. We found that message quality (r = 0.758***), perception of the narrative quality of the message (r = 0.334***), message involvement (r = 0.598***), product evaluation (r = 0.875***), agreement with message recommendations (r = 0.923***), conformity values (r = 0.070**), and self-direction values (r = 0.069**) were positively correlated with our scaled measure of intention to support a ban on lead shot in the Minnesota farmland zone. Outcome involvement (r = -0.147***), years hunting small game (r = - 0.126***), age (r = -0.074**), and increased use of lead shot for hunting small game (r = -0.470***) were negatively correlated with intent to support a ban. Respondents who had hunted for small game in the Minnesota farmland zone in the past 5 years were significantly less likely to support a ban ( x = 4.143) than those who had not hunted in the area in the past 5 years ( x = 4.741) (F=36.47***, η = 0.131). We conducted mediation analyses to examine the relationships first among (a) message quality, (b) agreement with message recommendations, and (c) intention to support a ban, then among (a) message type, (b) message involvement, and (c) message evaluation. We followed Baron and Kenny’s (1986) recommendations for mediation analysis, which involved computing a series of three models. Agreement with message recommendations partially mediated the relationship between message quality and behavioral intentions. Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 328 0.796*** Agreement w/message recs Adj. R 2 =0.633 Message Quality Behavioral Intentions Agreement w/message recs 0.758*** Message Quality Behavioral Intentions Agreement w/message recs 0.872*** Adj. R 2 =0.575 Adj. R 2 =0.855 0.065*** Message Quality Behavioral Intentions
Message involvement partially mediated the relationship between message type (i.e. perception of narrative nature of the message) and product evaluation. Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 329 0.541*** Message Involvement Adj. R 2 =0.292 Message Type Message Evaluation Message Involvement 0.389*** Message Type Message Evaluation Message Involvement 0.643*** Adj.
