Jesus christ, I was struggling with this for so long, finally found an explanation that made it click. I am thanking you on my hands and knees

I've searched everywhere. This is the best video on youtube about this subject. Really enjoyed how you used the same subject for all three variable explanations and then also citing real sources that help compliment your explanations.

This helps a lot with my PSY 301 Consumer Research class, thanks for this!

The best way to learn something is when you use the same original example, which helps solidifies concepts. Thank you!

Hi!
I would request insights from the group regarding my results that involves Andrew Hayes mediation (model 4) and moderation (model1).
X predictor (marital disaffection), Y outcome (Facebook intrusion) and M as a mediator (commitment).

I have found that path a (Effect of X on M) is significant, Path B (effect of M on Y is significant), and Path C (original effect of X on Y is significant). However, the 4th requirement of the Mediation that C' is also Significant (effect of X on Y, SHOULD have be reduced or eliminated when M is introduced ). Can I report it as partial mediation ?

Also with the same variables I have found the moderating (interaction) effect of commitment at all three levels (low medium and high commitment levels).
Should I use another model that takes into account the mediation and moderation of the same variable? or just individually report both models in the results ?
Thank you for your time and advice

nice video. greatly simplified. Please i just have a worry, what if listening to Motzart affects our preference for Motzart which then affects our spartial reasoning? Do we use it as a moderator or as a mediator in such a case?

can a mediational analysis take place in an experimental setup ? And if yes, how do we go about it ?
