Hi everyone,
I'm running a moderated mediation model in SmartPLS 3 (Picture 1).
I'd like to report index of moderated mediation (w = P1*P2+P2*P5*M). I know that M refers to the latent variable scores of the moderator variable, and the latent variable scores can be found under results of PLS Algorithm (Picture 2). However, where can I get the value of M? To calculate the mean of these latent variable scores? or to multiply them?
Thank you for all your help!
Stella

Re: Index of moderated mediation
The index of moderated mediation is given by p2*p5. You can find this as the specific indirect effect of Y1*M -> Y2 -> Y3. This is exactly p2*p5. You can assess its significance using bootstrapping.
