A Versatile Computational Tool for Observed Variable Mediation , Moderation , and Conditional Process Modeling
نویسنده
چکیده
Statistical mediation and moderation analysis are widespread throughout the behavioral sciences. Increasingly, these methods are being integrated in the form of the analysis of ―mediated moderation‖ or ―moderated mediation,‖ or what Hayes and Preacher (in press) call conditional process modeling. In this paper, I offer a primer on some of the important concepts and methods in mediation analysis, moderation analysis, and conditional process modeling prior to describing PROCESS, a versatile modeling tool freely-available for SPSS and SAS that integrates many of the functions of existing and popular published statistical tools for mediation and moderation analysis as well as their integration. Examples of the use of PROCESS are provided, and some of its additional features as well as some limitations are described.

Integrating mediation and moderation to advance theory development and testing.
OBJECTIVE The concepts and associated analyses of mediation and moderation are important to the field of psychology. Although pediatric psychologists frequently incorporate mediation and moderation in their theories and empirical research, on few occasions have we integrated mediation and moderation. In this article, conceptual reasons for integrating mediation and moderation are offered. MET...
متن کاملAnalysis of the Relationships among Motivation to Recycle, Willingness to Recycle, and Satisfaction with Recovery Stations in Taiwan
Recovery stations hold a key role in the recycling process. This study investigates the relationships among the motivation to recycle, user satisfaction with recovery stations, and willingness to recycle, with consideration of the mediation and moderation effects. We find a positive relationship between motivation to recycle and satisfaction with recovery stations, between satisfaction with rec...
متن کاملStructural Equation Modeling of Mediation and Moderation With Contextual Factors
Researchers often grapple with the idea that an observed relationship may be part of a more complex chain of effects. These complex relationships are described in terms such as indirect influences, distal vs. proximal causes, intermediate outcomes, and ultimate causes; all of which share the concept ofmediation. Similarly, researchers must often consider that an observed relationship may be par...
متن کاملEvaluating mediation and moderation effects in school psychology: a presentation of methods and review of current practice.
Third variable effects elucidate the relation between two other variables, and can describe why they are related or under what conditions they are related. This article demonstrates methods to analyze two third-variable effects: moderation and mediation. The utility of examining moderation and mediation effects in school psychology is described and current use of the analyses in applied school ...
متن کاملModeling of heat generations for different tool profiles in friction stir welding: study of tool geometry and contact conditions
In this work, improved heat generation models are developed for straight and tapered shoulder geometries with different tool pin profiles in friction stir welding. The models are developed considering the welding process as a combination of the pure sliding and the pure sticking conditions. From the results, the amount of heat generation is directly proportional to the number of edges in the pi...
