3.5 The Role of Water Quality Perceptions in Purchasing A GSEM model with economic stress as the predictor, quality concerns as the mediator, and frequency of purchasing as the outcome indicated that economic stress was a marginally significant predictor of perceived quality ( B = 0.23, SE = 0.12, z = 1.96, p = 0.050) and that perceived quality concerns significantly predicted purchasing behavior ( B = 0.37, SE = 0.17, z = 2.16, p = 0.031) (Table 13 ).
