Taher, Ahmed News Avoidance and Media Trust Mendeley Data The final survey was administered online using random sampling through social media and professional networks. The sample comprised 512 valid responses collected over a six-week period. Table 3 presents sample demographics. Both theoretical and statistical considerations guided sample size determination. A priori power analysis using G*Power 3.1 indicated that a minimum sample of 485 participants would be needed to detect medium effect sizes (f² = 0.15) with 95% power at α = 0.05 for our structural equation model with three predictors. Survey data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) in SmartPLS 4 (Ringle et al., 2024). The measurement model demonstrated good fit (SRMR = 0.053, NFI = 0.903) with strong construct reliability (all Cronbach's α > 0.875) and satisfactory discriminant validity (all HTMT ratios < 0.80).
