modeling multiple mediation

Post by emens »

I have a model with three possible mediators. After I test each mediator for the indirect effect, can I test for multiple mediation all at once? if so how?

Hi,

Test all mediator variable (simultan).
After it, compute indirect effect using bootstrapping approach for each mediator.

Best Regards,

Are the mediated paths, the same as Path A and Path B as specified by barron and kenny? after bootstrapping can you use the sobel test?
