Further statistical analysis revealed that there is a significant difference found between gender
in terms of time spent in mall, difference2 (3, N = 869)=32.693, p =.000. This reflects the
biological variation and different gender perspectives with regards the time spent in mall

Interpretation
Study results showed that significant difference exists between male and female and their
patronage behaviour ascertained in terms of intention to revisit (Z= -10.832, P <.05), plan to buy
from the mall in near future (Z= -.7.734, P<.05)and intention to recommend the mall to family
and friends (Z= -10.543, p<.05).
There is a significant difference between the Mean rank of male and female (374.11, .498.62)
(349.90, 523.91) and (352.04, 521.67),with respect to their intention to revisit, future buying
intention & recommend to family & friends respectively
Hence the null hypothesis H01 is rejected

Interpretation
Study results showed that significant differences exist between different age groups and their
patronage behaviour in terms of intention to revisit 2(5) =349.41, p<0.05, buy from the mall in
near future 2(5) =3 56.88, p<0.05and recommend the mall to family and friends 2(5) =333.46,
p<0.05.This means that significant difference exist between different age groups and their mall
patronage behaviour. (See table)
The above table clearly indicates that the mean rank for the younger shoppers (16- 25 yrs.) is
the highest followed by the (26-35 yrs.), (36-45 yrs.), (46- 55 yrs.) and (above 55 yrs.). The
pattern is indicative of the fact that the younger shoppers have more positive attitude towards
the mall patronage behaviour. The older shoppers above 55 yrs. are apathetic or uninterested
and not showed intention towards mall patronage behaviour.
Correlation with shopping motives and patronage
Correlation significant at the 0.01level (two tailed)
Note ** shows positive association, * shows negative association, P= indicate the significance level, R= indicate the direction of
the relationship
Interpretation
The above correlation table showed that hedonic shopping motives have strong and positive
relationship all the patronage behaviour like intention to revisit ( r=.599, P< 0.01)future
intention to buy from the same mall in the near future (r = .485, P< 0.01) and recommend the
mall to friends ( r= . 597, P<.0.01).
Study rejected the null hypothesis (H011) that stated that hedonic motives have negative
influence on patronage behaviour.
In case of Utility motives, results show that there is a negative relationship with intention to
revisit the mall (r= -.140, P< 0.01) and Buy from the mall in near future (r=-.187, P<0.01). A
positive relationship (r= .243, P<.0.01) was found with willingness to recommend the mall to
family and friend.
