Figure 1. Structural equation model of the relationships among need satisfaction constructs, actively open-minded thinking dimensions (as mediators), and violent extremist attitudes (Model 1). All coefficients are standardized, and the solid lines indicate statistical significance. The significance thresholds for a two-tailed test are: * p < .05, ** p < .01, and *** p < .001.
Figure 2. Structural equation model of the relationships among need frustration constructs, actively open-minded thinking dimensions (as mediators), and violent extremist attitudes (Model 2). All coefficients are standardized, and the solid lines indicate statistical significance. The significance thresholds for a two-tailed test are: * p < .05, ** p < .01, and *** p < .001.
