Hi,
I would like to mention that, in my model, I have multiple independent variables and I conduct a bootstraping and mediation analysis for each independent variable (IV) separately; my question is there a way to have a mediating test in presence of all IVs? and how?
It will be highly appreciated if you could provide information regarding this concern.

Hello,
I would like to thank you very much,
How we can find a references that can support the SmartPLS obtained values, for example: if the p-value of Sobel test < 0.05 then we can conclude that there is a mediation role; as another example if the AVE > 0.5 then we have a reasonable convergent validity. Please would you provide me with some reference that can be cited within the discussion of the results.
Great thanks for you

Hi,
Third Question, if we have the following values after applying online Sobel test
Sobel test statistic: 1.84357663
One-tailed probability: 0.03262243
Two-tailed probability: 0.06524486
Can we conclude that there is a mediation, because one-tailed < 0.05, regardless the value of Two-tailed?
Fourth Question
How we can ensure the significance of correlation in multiple regression using SmartPLS (P-Value)?
Thank you in advance

Hi,
1. Many articles and books in PLS Literature provide information about evaluation outer & inner model, and also mediation analysis please check it.
2. Sobel-Test required normality assumption, not same with character PLS (distribution-free). One-tailed or Two-tailed, you must justify it (used one level, no mixed).
3. Yes, you can see R^2 for variance explain, but now I recommend used Adjusted R^2. Next compute predictive validity Q^2 and also f^2 + GoF.
4. For correlation rule of thumb P < 0.05.
Best Regards,
Hengky
