How to judge whether a path is strong or weak?
Posted: Sun Nov 04, 2012 1:31 pm
Hi all,
I have a IV, a DV, and a mediator.
Running Bootstraping, I get the Path Coefficients and corresponding T-Statistics. The values for the Path Coefficients are: 0.372(Mediator to DV), -0.338 (IV to Mediator), and-0.425(IV to DV). T values are: 4.081, 3.476, and 4.690. I have two questions:
(1) How to judge whether these paths are strong? Are there any references? The T values tell that they are significant.
(2) Who have published a formal paper using the SmartPLS? I want to know the wording when using the SmartPLS in a paper.
Thank you. Best regards.
