Hi there, I am a PhD student with a couple of questions about indirect effects. 1. Why would a total indirect effect be significant if none of the specific indirect effects are significant? Would it make sense that the indirect effect of variable x on variable y is through the sum of all the mediation paths? 2. For standardized indirect effects, why would smaller specific indirect effects be significant while larger one are not? This doesn’t seem logical. |

These are questions more appropriate for a general discussion forum like SEMNET. |
