Participants alsocompleted a two-day activity-travel diary. The validity of measurements and reliability of constructswere assessed by mean of Exploratory and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (EFA and CFA) and fivemodels were determined using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to identify relations amongthe variables of the study.
