Results from Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) indicated that thedirect effect of teacher's norm communication was found toward trust in thegovernment, and all three aspects of NPP attitude, namely, cognitive aspect,affective aspect, and intention aspect. Moreover, affective aspect, cognitive aspect,and teacher's normative communication could explain 74.0% of the variance of theNPP intention aspect.
