The results suggest that combining structural equation modeling with appropriate research design and theoretically stringent mediation analysis can improve scientific insights. Finally, we discuss limitations of the structural equation modeling approach, and we emphasize the importance of non-statistical methods...

.Mediation analysis(Baron and Kenny, 1986; Hayes, 2013) is a newer statistical tool providing insight into the relationship among variables in a potential causal chain, and has been largely used in thenutrition researchfield (Lockwood et al., 2010). However, in most of the prenatal research ...
Current research has been focusing on non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) behaviors among adolescents with depression. Although family intimacy and adaptability are considered protective factors for NSSI, evidence supporting this relationship is lacking. Thi
(Bennett et al.,2018) and hence, appropriate as the choice of sample. Second, the cross-sectional research design restricted the richness of information required for analysis. Mindfulness as a variable may take some practice and matures over time (Langer,1998). Future researchers can experiment ...

Mediation analysis was performed to determine whether the effect of TC on SBP can be explained by arterial stiffness. Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that for every one standard deviation increase in TC and BaPWV, SBP increased by 0.33 mmHg and 0.044 mmHg, respectively; for every ...

An emerging body of research support the benefits of antenatal physical activity on maternal mood [52, 53]. In a meta-analysis of 12 studies completed by Poyatos-Léon et al., physical activity interventions delivered in pregnancy moderately decreased the risk of developing postpartum depressive ...
Its also true that all too often the focus is purely onreturn on investment, rather than growth – an analysis in which its easier for pure short-termist approaches to win out. Ensuring that we optimise toeffectivenessgoals, rather than toefficiency-basedoutcomes, is crucial if we are to ens...
