The Nature of Moderator
A moderator is qualitative (e.g., gender, race, class) or quantitative
(e.g. level of reward) variable that affects the direction and/or
01 strength of the relation between an independent or predictor
variable and a dependent or criterion variable

The moderator is a categorical
variable and the independent 02 03 The moderator is a continuous
variable and the independent
variable a continuous variable variable is a categorical

Both moderator and Both variables are continuous
independent variables are variables..

Case 1 : Both moderator and independent variables
are categorical variables

Framework for testing Mediation
Framework for testing Mediation
A variable functions as a mediator when it meets the following conditions:
01 02
When Path c is reduced to If the residual Path c is not
zero, we have strong zero, this indicates the
evidence for a single, operation of multiple
dominant mediator. mediating factors
Analytic procedures for testing for mediation
Conduct a series of regression models:
a. Independen variable to
mediator, standard error of a
b. Mediator to Dependent
Variabel, standard error of b
06 All relevant paths are directly tested and none are ommitted
