Hello There,
I have some problems in interpreting the signs of some paths in my models (positive vs negative signs). For example, 'security risk' construct has been found with a positive influence on 'consumer trust', whereas studies confirm the negative influence of security on trust. What do you think of this? Could I ignore the signs of some paths or need to be justified?
Thanks and regards,
Ahmed

Hi,
Positive or Negative sign have impact for decision accept or not hypothesis. if you ignore this, you will make Type I error. So, for this case, your hypothesis not support, just it.
