Interpretation of results

[shilpitju]

Hi,

Thanks for this wonderful tool. I used the toolbox for my project and got the following table:

Single-level model a b c' c ab
Coeff 0.13 -286.84 164.12 127.91 -36.20
STE 0.10 167.88 77.28 77.64 38.47
t (~N) 1.31 -1.71 2.12 1.65 -0.94
Z 1.27 -1.63 2.00 1.58 -0.92
p 0.2049 0.1023 0.0457 0.1137 0.3573

What particular column gives the mediation effect here, c' or ab? These Coeff and STE appear to be very high numerically, is it possible?

Thanks,

Shilpi Modi

It’s ab

And yes, totally possible

Best wishes, Tor

Thanks, That means in the example above, mediator is not mediating the relation between X and Y (p=0.3573).
