The section on page 10 reading:

Table 5 shows the correlations estimates between the relation constructs. The values shown did not exceed such limits. Hence, the CFA model reveals an adequate level of discriminate validity. The construct validity of the suggested model has been supported. Each unobserved variable's square root of AVE was larger than its correlation between each pair of latent variables. Hence, the discrimination validity was acceptable (Fornell and Larcker 1981, Kuo et al. 2009, Schaupp et al. 2010).
