A colleague has just ask me the following question.
Quick question.
Given the relationship between variable X and variable Y is mediated by variable R.
But it is discovered that variable I acts to immunize against variable R. What is R called in the context of path analysis. And can this model be analyzed within SPSS?
Thanks
I think the best approach would be to use Hayes’ Process Analysis and use his Model 7 . Would most agree? That is, I see the
my colleague’s I variable as a moderator of the relation between
my colleague’s X and
R And that R is the mediator between X and Y. And does this capture what my colleague is after? Thanks for responses to this question.
