Single Variables

Post by statsboy »

I have a model with 4 single variables which predict a dependent variable and then a second moderation model with an extra 4 variables (2moderators x 2 independent). Do I need to test for discrimination and convergence?

Hi,

What do you mean "single variables"?
If you mean to construct a single indicator, then you do not need to test the outer models.

Thank you - do you have an example of a study like this? I am having difficulty in writing up the results.
