Hi everyone Also, if i say my latent variable is a mediator, then i can use a sobel test. But if the Sobel test says its not significant it means its not a mediator? And then it should be removed from the model? How do i test for moderation? Thanks! Hi Anna, You should see for mediation. AND do not...

Thank you Sarjana Hengky Latan and Ken Lee. In fact I want to use both methods but in Sobel test I had the problem but now cleared. .

second article is becoming featured in PLS handbook 2008.

Anybody know of professors using it this way? Even if it is experimental trial use.

Dear all, I think the PLS community need to not use blanket statements that CBSEM cannot be used for formative modeling. It has numerous difficultlies: identification programming convergence, etc but it can be done. PLS offers more flexibility in the general sense of the word when modeling with form...

Dear all, I would agree with the discussion on use of hierarchical or repeated indicators approach. Use in isolation if you can... But if used in a structural model be upfront about it in study limitation. Newer monte carlo studies may provide more guidance. Wilson, B. and Henseler, J. (2007), Model...

Dear all,

Unless i am reading this incorrectly, do not report these statistics for the formative section of your analysis.

Dear Sandra, The number of interaction terms at the item level can quickly turn a simple model into a complex one. Interactions models usually have distributional problems. It is better to justify is original indicants have distributional problems prior to creating cross-products. most people standa...
