Dear All,
Please can some one suggest an article which explains clearly on the technique of applying and calculating multiple mediation in smart pls 3 ? I have run the bootstrapping but I cant see the mediation path 1 and mediation path 2 in my indirect effects, Please can some one explain how it is calculated or at least point me to some resouces?
What does it mean if my indirect effect shows as negative? Can some one help clarify? Is it correct?
Thank you.
Kind regards,
Mediation in Smart Pls

Re: Mediation in Smart Pls
There is already a forum thread on multiple mediation: viewtopic.php?f=12&t=15337
In addition, the following literature also discusses multiple mediators:

Re: Mediation in Smart Pls
Thank you for your prompt response Dr. Becker. I tried looking for the thread under mediation but was instead directed to my own question.
Kind regards,

Re: Mediation in Smart Pls
The link works fine in my browser, but when you search for "multiple mediation" you may also find the thread.
