Significant difference between indirect effect sizes

Post by jpitt »

Hello peers,

Further to the previous post on "Significance of indirect effect in multiple mediator models" - viewtopic.php?f=12&t=3514. I wonder if there is a way to test if for example two indirect effect sizes (i.e. parallel multiple mediator model e.g., 1. X --> M1 --> M2 --> Y VS. 2. X --> M3 --Y) are significantly different.

Thanks, Joe
