The second level study involved survey research, where 400 respondents were intercepted in shopping malls within Klang Valley, Melaka, and Kuching. This level measured the contributions of these attributes to online brand image via AMOS Software for model fit, testing for mediating effects (Brand Attitude) and moderating effects (Gender and Occupation).

The second level study involved survey research, where 400 respondents were intercepted in shopping malls within Klang Valley, Melaka, and Kuching.
