Dear all, The scale of one of my measured constructs is unidimensional with a mix of positive and negative items. The construct is reflective and is theoretically conceptualized (by the developer of the scale) as a positive construct; thus, the negative items should be reverse-coded. My questions ar...

Claudia,

Thank you very much! Your information really helps!

Product indicator approach is one of the approaches that we can use to calculate interaction effects. Assuming your independent variable, X1, has 5 items (or manifest variables) and your other independent variable or a moderator, X2, has 3 manifest variables. Hence, there are 15 product indicators, ...

Dear SmartPLS users/experts/developers, Can anyone please explain to me how to calculate the q-squared ( NOT Q-squared)? I am not sure how to run the blindfolding procedure to get the Q-squared excluded because I have no idea which LV shall I select/check. I would appreciate if you could explain thi...

Hi, May I know how I can get the t-values for indirect effects? If the t-values for both direct effects and total effects are obtained from bootstrapping procedure, should not one also use bootstrapping procedure to obtain the t-value? Furthermore, many researchers have argued that bootstrapping pro...

Use the following values One tail 90% significance level--t value-1.628 95% significance level--t value-1.645 99% significance level--t value-21.96 I think there may be a typing error for the t-value (one-tail) for 99% significance level. It is 2.326 and not 21.96. Please correct me if I'm wrong. T...

Hi, Hypothetically, my model consists of 4 latent variables: LV1, LV2 and LV3 are predictors and LV4 is the criterion. When I run the PLS algorithm, I choose Data Metric = Mean 0, Var 1. Then, I create the moderating effect. I select a predictor and a moderator accordingly. My question: which intera...

Hi, I am also interested to know the meaning behind all these settings & options (in plain English). Btw, I found out from the forum that: Cases = your actual number of sample size, i.e. 200 (I assumed that all the returned responses are usable) Samples = bootstraps resamples (it could be 100, 2...

Hi, I am having the same problem with moderated mediation. Yes, I used the product-indicator approach but I have no idea how to calculate the effect size and predictive relevance of a moderated mediation model. I've seen that in several published articles, the authors had tested the moderation and m...

Hi,

Thank you very much, Christian, for your kind help. I will look for the resources that you have suggested.

Hi, Christian,

I am very much interested to read your working paper but I don't understand Germanic language. Do you have the same paper written in English?

Thank you very much.
