It is straightforward to do two-level moderated mediation in Mplus. In your case you just add a between part for the y variables by mentioning their variances. If Bayes gives significance and ML doesn't it can mean that the distribution of the estimate is not symmetric/normal. In this ...
Is the difference test in mplus a heterogenity test in its nature? I checked some statistical mateirals. Some researchers used a relatively subjective approach, comparing the Mediation sizes (the coefficients) or simply look at whether the indirect effects are full v.s parital v.s non ...
Through a questionnaire survey, 542 questionnaires of postgraduate students were collected in China, and SPSS and MPLUS software were used for empirical analysis. Results showed that AM positively affects LE, and LE affects PSC and plays a mediating role in the relationship between AM and PSC. ...
Then we discuss how to estimate and test the conditional indirect effects and to test whether a mediation effect is moderated using Bayesian approaches. How to implement the estimation in both BUGS and Mplus is also discussed. Performance of Bayesian methods is evaluated and compared to that of ...
According to the above theoretical basis and research assumptions, this study proposes the following research model, as shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 1: Research model. The impact of network social presence on live streaming viewers’ social support willingness: a moderated mediation model. Full size ima...
Second, structural equation modeling (SEM) in Mplus 8.3 was used while bootstrapping; 1000 samples were applied to test the significance of the mediated effects and produce bias-corrected percentile confidence intervals. Social support at T1 was the independent variable, while defender self-efficacy...
equation modeling (SEM) was conducted to address the study aims, consisting of three stages: measurement models, mediation, and moderated mediation (otherwise known asContrast of Mediated Effects). Results indicate no evidence of mediation. However, in the overall model, bullying and sexual ...
In the second, 700 participants (Sample 2) were recruited to conduct the CFA. Due to items’ deviation from the normal distribution, in all structural equation modeling analysis, maximum likelihood estimation robust to non-normality (MLR) in Mplus 8 was used (Muthén & Muthén,2012). To ...
