Hello Michael, It has been a couple of months since I encountered this problem, so I don't recall exactly what created the problem. However, I know it must have stemmed from something I did incorrectly with my model specification. After I deleted and recreated the model, the problem was resolved. It...

Incoherent Graphs

Hi John,

Thanks for your reply, but unfortunately that's not the problem. My structural model is:

A ---> C
B ---> C

It's a very simple model, so I don't understand why I am encountering this problem.

Thanks,
Teresa

Incoherent Graph

Hello, I am in the process of creating a very simple PLS model with 2 formative LVs (each with 4 observed variables) loading on 1 reflective LV (with 3 observed variables). I expected the LVs to turn from Red to Blue after connecting them, but they have not changed and I get an error message indicat...

Hello Bido, Thank you very much for your reply and for taking the time to read the article I referenced. Your explanation clarified the issue for me. Just one more question: Can I assume there are no "potentially significant" cross loadings if the cross loadings range from .013 to .559, an...

I initially loaded SmartPLS onto my computer in August, and downloaded the new version about 2 weeks ago. Thank you, Teres...

Moderating Variables

Hello, I have a path loading from an exogenous LV (structure) to an endogenous LV (process) with a path coefficient of .73. When I add a moderating variable (Trust), I get the following path coefficients: Trust main effect = .116 Trust x Structure interaction effect = .318 Structure main effect = .3...

Mediating Variable Specification

Hello, In a July 2003 Journal of Marketing article (White, Varadarajan, and Dacin), the authors used the approach described below to provide support for speficiation of a mediating variable in their model. (Their model had 3 predictor LVs with each loading on one "mediating" LV, which load...

Significance Levels for r-square and t-values

I am new to SmartPLS, and have found the Forum threads to be extremely helpful. I have two questions that I haven't found in previous forum discussions: 1) In order to determine significance levels for formative and reflective indicators, should I be using the bootstrapping t-statistic calculated fo...
