INDIRECT EFFECTS

Post by NRECUERO »

Good afternoon,

I have been asked to report indirect/mediating effects of my model.

The direct effects of my model are:
Inn --> Ms
Inn --> Pre
Inn --> Rqu
Inn --> Vmo
Mo --> Inn
Pre --> Ms
Rqu --> Ms
Vmo ..> Ms

The indirect effects that automatically SmartPls 3 reports are:
Inn --> Ms
Mo --> Ms
Mo --> Pre
Mo --> Rqu
Mo --> Vmo

So, would it be OK to add in the manuscript the following "Inn indirectly influences Ms, through Mo, Pre, Vmo, and Rqu (β = 0.40; p < .01)." and so on (for the other indirect effects that SmartPls3 indicates?

Thanks in advance
