Magnitude of path coefficients

Post by Anne Merken »

Hello,

I have calculated the total effects for teh path coefficients of my structural model. These are all between 0,57 and 0,77, except for one that equals 0.27.

What do these magnitudes mean? Are they large?

Thanks!

Anne

there is no limitation for magnitude of paths, the paths state the importance of impact, they are actually beta in regression. these paths are good they shoud not be less than 0.1 and if there go beyond 1 there is the sign of multicolinearity.
