Because of all of that was mentioned above and for further analysis, our data was composed by 15 variables and 184 observations.
The Kaisers measure of sampling adequacy shows that all variables are > 0.5 so the sampling is adequate.
In the factor patter table, the cross loading is < 0.4 and there are not items correlated with more than one factor. The factor loading is > 0.5.
Even though 4 factors are retained by the proportion criterion, we will drop factor 4 because itis not accounted by more than one unique variable (EGO rule).

Cronbach Coefficient Alpha The Factor1 affected five variables: Sexp1, Sexp2, Sexp3, Sexp4 and Sexp5. We decided to rename this factor as experience
with mobile shopping.
FACTOR 1
Variables Alpha
Raw 0.959650 We can observe than the coefficient is higher than 0.7, so we can assume it is reliable.
Standardized 0.959809
Cronbach Coefficient Alpha The Factor2 affected five variables: RiskPriv1, RiskPriv2, RiskPriv3, RiskFin1 and RiskFin2. We decided to rename this factor as
FACTOR 2
Cronbach Coefficient Alpha The Factor3 affected five variables: Conv1, Eco2, Pleasure1, Pleasure2 and Pleasure3. We decided to rename this factor as
perceived benefits (save money, save time and pleasure).
FACTOR 3
Variables Alpha
Raw 0.905598 We can observe than the coefficient is higher than 0.7, so we can assume it is reliable.
Standardized 0.906421
Cronbach Coefficient Alpha As the intention to use the smartphones for m-payment is unidimensional and reliable, we can compute the aggregation
measure of the construct from the item scores. Therefore, we took the average score across the items (Usage1, Usage2 and
USE (UI)
Variables Alpha
Usage3) to compute variables of intention to use smartphones for m-payment.

As age and gender might influence the shopping activities and use of the technology, we put age and gender as Independent Variables (IVs).
As the intention to use smartphone for m-payment is unidimensional and reliable, we can compute the aggregation measure of the construct from the item scores.
Therefore, we took the average score across the items (Usage1, 2 ,3) to compute variables of intention to use smartphones for m-payment.
Ei: Experience with mobile shopping (Sexp1, Sexp2, Sexp3, Sexp4 and Sexp5);
Ri: Perceived (Risk RiskPriv1, RiskPriv2, RiskPriv3, RiskFin1 and RiskFin2); and
Bi: Perceived Benefits (Conv1, Eco2, Pleasure1, Pleasure2 and Pleasure3).
As these factors are unidimensional and reliable, we can compute the aggregation measure of the construct from the item scores. Therefore, we took the average
score across the items of each factors to compute variables of experience with mobile shopping, perceived risk and perceived benefits
() = 1 + 2 + 3 1 + 4 2 + 5 + 6 + 7
Consequently, we had to run a correlation analysis to investigate potential multicollinearity issues. This process has shown us the following correlations between IVs:

We can see that Ei and Bi are highly correlated to most of IVs where as other IVs are less correlated each other. As it is better to have small correlation between IVs
(<0.4), we can assume that variables experience and perceived benefits might not be good IVs while other IVs should be good variables to explain variable intention
to use.
From the Regression Model, we got this formula (G2 is deleted as it is opposite of G1)
Age: positive Gender: positive to men Experience: positive Risk: negative Benefits: positive

Moreover, from p-value, we can see only risk and benefit variables are significantly coefficient.
From this result, we can assume that H1-3 are correct but as for the H3, the correlation between experience and intention to use are not significant.
From the standardized estimate, we can see that the benefit variables are the most important.
According to r-square score, we can see the almost 68 % of the intention of use are explained by selected variables.
Therefore, the retailer should have sales representatives well educated and capable of explaining the system accurately and with an strong accent in the fully
comprehension of the perceived benefits and the safety of using the m-payment system. In addition to this, retailers may consider to provide a meeting section or
organize different events to provide further detailed information about the benefits and safety of the m-system to maximize the beneficial image and minimize the
risky image of m-payment.
