Path significance
Posted: Thu Jan 17, 2019 6:28 am
Hello,
While testing a particular structural model to obtain the direct effect of 3 independent variables on the dependent variable, all the path relationships get statistically significant at 5% significance level. Now, when two new constructs are added as the antecedents of that particular dependent variable into the existing model, the existing 3 path relationships fail to become significant. However, the new two path relationships are statistically significant. Could you explain the reason?
