Hi!

In SmartPLS 3 - is it possible to see each indirect effect for each path (path a and path b) when analysing a mediation? The path coefficients = the direct (unmeadiated) effect. Is then the coefficient one can find under 'indirect effects' the overall 'indirect effect' of that mediation?

Thank you for your help in advance.

The indirect effect includes all indirect relationships. You can call it overall indirect effect. If you like to know only a fraction of the indirect effect via a (single) specific variable, you need to multiply the relevant path coefficients to obtain that indirect effect.
