Hi there,

I am looking at the effects of Predictive variable (measured at level 2) having an effect on outcome variables (measured at level 1) mediated by mediator (measured at level 2).

Could we examine cross level interactions in Mplus? If so, please provide a dummy code for such a scenario.

Thanks,
Jon

Sounds like you have a 2-2-1 case. Try modifying the 2-1-2 modeling in Preacher's

Sorry, I didn't understand. Could please explain what you mean by modifying the 2-1-2 modeling?

Just to give you more understanding -

I have latent predictive variable (level 2) influencing latent mediator (level 2) which in turn is influencing latent outcome variable (level 1).

Your suggestion and guidance will be appreciated.

Any possible dummy code will strongly help.

Thanks,
Jon

To get an understanding of this topic, take a look at the Preacher et al articles such as the 2010 Psych Methods, the 2011 SEM, and the 2016 Psych Methods.
