A mediating variable (or mediator) explains the process through which two variables are related, while a moderating variable (or moderator) affects the strength and direction of that relationship. Including mediators and moderators in your research helps you go beyond studying a simple relationship ...
Difference between moderating and intermediate variable Although they sound similar, moderating variables are conceptually different from mediating (intermediate) variables. The difference is very subtle; Depending on your question,some variables can be both a moderator and a mediator[1]. Moderators answer...
The variety of potential moderating factors examined within this literature is discussed within the context of a social-ecological model. Our review of this literature identified the following methodological issues: the need for a clear a priori theoretical basis for selecting potential moderators, ...

In this chapter, we take a deep dive into moderated testing—arguably, one of the most complex testing methods—with the help of 4 experienced moderators who share their 5-step process and help you consider all the variables involved. You’re in good hands!
A conceptual framework is used to illustrate the variables you will study and the relationships you expect to find between them.
