Multiple mediation
Posted: Mon Feb 11, 2019 3:31 am
Hi,
I want to check mediating effect of five different intervening variables simultaneously, while examining indirect effect of three IVs on one particular DV. Each IV has been conceptualized to have effect on the DV through those five intervening variables (parallel). If I use latest version of smartpls and do the mediation analysis through significance of specific indirect effects (as mentioned in Hair et al, 2017, although they mentioned manual calculation using spreadsheet), is it okay (methodology)? It is a case of multiple parallel mediation.
