Hi there,

I am running a multilevel mediation model based on latent change scores. I have a significant hypotheses from the proposed model. However, I need additional information in terms of strength of the relationship between the predictor variable on outcome through mediators. Whether this relationship is strong/weak/moderate. Is there anything from the Mplus output that can give that information? Please do guide.

One way is to look at

a*b/SD(y)

where the numerator is the indirect effect and the denominator is the standard deviation of the outcome. This says how big the indirect effect is in y SD terms for a one-unit change in x.
