I'm sorry, to clarify once again, how is the layman going to understand this, though, when reading an article? For example, can the increase in 1 unit SD be interpreted as a sizable effect and can this effect be quantified (e.g., small, medium, large)?

Thanks again, and for your patience.

I have two questions in regard to variance explained in one's PLS-SEM model: 1. In the circles representative of each (endogenous) latent construct, should the R^2 OR adjusted R^2 values be displayed? 2. If adjusted R^2 values should be displayed, I'm assuming they should also be the values reported...

I'm sorry, to clarify, does this mean that it is interpreted as an R^2 value (coefficient of determination)?

Thanks a lot. This one aspect is still left unclear (i.e. how to interpret the path coefficient): 1. Is the path coefficient interpreted as expressing the size of a relationship between two latent constructs (e.g., X has the largest, positive relationship with Y) or the size of the effect between tw...

I have two questions in regard to interpreting path coefficients from bootstrapping. This is mainly interpreting the Original Sample (O), as I'm assuming that the Sample Mean (M) does not need to be interpreted, correct? 1. Is the path coefficient, Original Sample (O), interpreted as expressing the ...

Given this, what do you recommend to report on for mediating variables/effects (e.g., mediation type, etc.)?

Thanks

There is no clear indicator that Variance Accounted for (VAF) values of mediated variables (indirect effects) is provided in the SmartPLS output, including bootstrapping. 1. Can VAF values for mediated variables (indirect effects) be found either in the regular, SmartPLS output or by way of bootstra...

Thanks for the reply. A few follow-up questions: 1. I do have mediating variables that are either positively or negatively related to the endogenous (dependent) variable, so if you have any suggestions on how to interpret VAF values when this is the case, it would be very helpful? 2. Is there a way ...

SmartPLS provides the output for f² direct effect sizes but not indirect or total. I've seen that the following equation can be used to calculate f² effect sizes: f² = (R²_included - R²_excluded) / (1 - R²_included) My questions are: 1) can the above equation be used to calculate f² indirect and tot...
