R2 effect-size measures for mediation analysis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
R(2) effect-size measures are presented to assess variance accounted for in mediation models. The measures offer a means to evaluate both component paths and the overall mediated effect in mediation models. Statistical simulation results indicate acceptable bias across varying parameter and sample-size combinations. The measures are applied to a real-world example using data from a team-based health promotion program to improve the nutrition and exercise habits of firefighters. SAS and SPSS computer code are also provided for researchers to compute the measures in their own data.

Effect size measures for mediation models: quantitative strategies for communicating indirect effects.
The statistical analysis of mediation effects has become an indispensable tool for helping scientists investigate processes thought to be causal. Yet, in spite of many recent advances in the estimation and testing of mediation effects, little attention has been given to methods for communicating effect size and the practical importance of those effect sizes. Our goals in this article are to (a)...
متن کاملAccuracy of Estimates and Statistical Power for Testing Meditation in Latent Growth Curve Modeling.
The latent growth curve modeling (LGCM) approach has been increasingly utilized to investigate longitudinal mediation. However, little is known about the accuracy of the estimates and statistical power when mediation is evaluated in the LGCM framework. A simulation study was conducted to address these issues under various conditions including sample size, effect size of mediated effect, number ...
متن کاملA Novel Measure of Effect Size for Mediation Analysis.
Mediation analysis has become one of the most popular statistical methods in the social sciences. However, many currently available effect size measures for mediation have limitations that restrict their use to specific mediation models. In this article, we develop a measure of effect size that addresses these limitations. We show how modification of a currently existing effect size measure res...

This study examined the relationship between social support and objective task performance in a field setting. a sample of 197 participants, mean age 23.13 years (Sd 3.56) completed measures of stressors, social support, and self-efficacy prior to performance. moderated hierarchical regression analysis revealed significant (p < .05) main effects for stressors (R2 = .12) and social support (∆R 2...
متن کاملStatistical properties of four effect-size measures for mediation models
This project examined the performance of classical and Bayesian estimators of four effect size measures for the indirect effect in a single-mediator model and a two-mediator model. Compared to the proportion and ratio mediation effect sizes, standardized mediation effect-size measures were relatively unbiased and efficient in the single-mediator model and the two-mediator model. Percentile and ...
