Serial mediation model
Posted: Thu Jun 04, 2020 5:16 pm
Hello,
I have one question about serial mediation model. In my model, Y1 impacts Y2 via 2 mediators (M1 and M2) (cf. Photo). In every papers I read about serial mediation, they always analyze the effect of Y1 on M2 in the model. However, for my model, I don't have any theory base for the relation between Y1 and M2.
So that is my question : In serial mediation model, we have to analyze the effect of Y1 on M2 or this is not necessary ?
I hope that anyone can help me to be cleared about serial mediation model.
Thank in advance.
