However, conversely, a significant mediation analysis result does not prove that is a mediator. This obvious but often neglected insight is substantiated in a simulation study. Using different causal models for generating (genuine mediator, spurious mediator, correlate of the dependent measure, ...
Causal mediation analysis is a statistical technique that estimates the role of a mediator in a potentially causal relationship between two variables. This was repeated separately for the low and high CIB groups. Bootstrapping with 2000 iterations was used for all causal mediation analyses. We ...
After providing the client with feedback, it’s time to create an intervention. This intervention must fit the organization’s needs and be based on causal knowledge of outcomes. In addition, the organization needs to be able to absorb the changes successfully. A possible intervention the organiz...

In sub-Saharan Africa, malnutrition is associated with mortality in adults hospitalized for medical illness. However, it remains unclear whether this association is causal, and if causal, what the potential mediators are. We assessed whether malnutrition is causally related to mortality among hospitalize...
Mediation analyses have become extremely popular in the social sciences generally, and in social psychology specifically, because they seem to grant the researcher the ability to draw causal conclusions from correlational data. But this is illusory. Correlation provides poor quality evidence of causation...

The validity of theories of causal and maintaining factors in EDs, and subsequent psychological interventions based on the same, must therefore be tested in minority groups. Limitations and future directions While our study is the first to date to compare males and females with EDs on a range ...
The Special Communication “Causal Inferences About the Effects of Interventions From Observational Studies in Medical Journals,” published in this issue of JAMA,1 provides a rationale and framework for considering causal inference from observational studies published by medical journals. Our intent is ...
A construct that could help explain the causal relationships investigated here is the knowledge regarding sustainability labels. Further research could integrate this construct into the structural model or extrapolate the individual causal relationships and examine them with reference to knowledge of ...
