Hello,

I have a question regarding the coding for MPlus.

If I have the following model:

MODEL:

Y by y1 y2 y3
X by x1 x2 x3
M by m1 m2 m3

Y ON M X;
M ON X;

MODEL INDIRECT:
Y IND M X

OUTPUT:
MOD STAND;


Why does the above not display the total and total indirect effects in the output. But if I put 'Y ind X;' instead of 'Y ind M X' it does?

Many thanks in advance.

Because when you specify y IND m x this may not include all paths needed for total and total indirect.
