Hi,

There isn't relation between LV's.

or you used some kind of "formative 2nd order LV as endogenous variable".

Hi, In some references, this is called “practical or empirical significance”, and it is a matter of field of research. See: Cohen, J. (1988). Statistical Power Analysis for the Behavioral Sciences (2nd ed., p. 567). New York: Psychology Press. Faul, F., Erdfelder, E., Lang, A.-G., & Buchner, A. ...

Hi, I suggest you do not use sample so small for any statistical test. With G*Power 3 you could see that (power = 0.80; alpha = 0.05; two-tail): N = 6 --> just correlations bigger than 0.89 will be detected as significant at 5% N = 30 --> just correlations bigger than 0.49 will be detected as signif...

Hi, Non significant --> in the population this coefficient = 0.0 1) Did you used cases = your sample size (number of rows in the dataset)? 2) Did you used the “no sign change” in the bootstrap procedure? Try the “construct level”. If the answer was yes for both questions, the problem is small sample...

Hi, This post is being very complete! What is the problem that these “sign changes schemes” are trying to solve? I will try exemplifying with two cases. Case 1) The usual situation Being: b = path coefficient or outer loading = very close to 0.0 = for instance +0.1 When we run the bootstrap procedur...

Hi, 1) NO, The “original” are not the first sample from the bootstrap, they are results with the overall sample (same results given by PLS algorithm). 2) YES, the sample mean are results from all resamples in the bootstrap procedure. In theoretical sense, with infinite resamples the mean converges t...

Hi, Yes. As the algorithm is “partial”, measurement model is estimated in one step and structurla model is estimated in the next until convergence. I think that: The scores of dependent variable are different on of the other. For this reason, the path from mediator to dependent variable will be diff...

Hi, Some references about this: Henseler et al. (2009, p.307) = use “individual sign changes”. Tenenhaus et al.

Hi,

SPSS is useful for data screening, descriptive statistics, plots etc.

SmartPLS could be used to assess the validity (convergent and discriminant) and the reliability. You could do this directly in SmartPLS.
