HELP NEEDED! How to use SmartPLS to measure effect of one continous variable on change in another variable with time?

Post by amoghta »

Example: There is an independent variable consisting of several dimensions such as anxiety. There is another variable with several dimensions one of which could be social support. I wish to measure how effective social support (and other such dimensions) were in alleviating anxiety over a period of time. Anxiety was measured twice for the same subjects and during that time while some 'helping techniques' were provided. So I want to see which of these helping techniques (such as social support) were helpful and to what extent.

If this cannot be done using SmartPLS then what other techniques (on SPSS) are available? Im totally clueless!

Your help will be highly appreciated!
