Further testing of path differences revealed that the effect strength of path Ind1 was significantly greater than that of path Ind2 (Δ = 0.039, p = 0.001, 95% CI [0.032, 0.045]), but the effect difference between the two chained mediating paths, Path Ind3 and Path Ind4, did not reach statistical significance (Δ = 0.012, p = 0.054, 95% CI [-0.001, 0.027]).
