Dear Professor, I am trying to test a model 2-1-1 (X-M-Y) with a level 2 moderator (W) on 2-1. Here is my mplus syntax: TITLE: 2-1-1 moderated mediation DATA: FILE is mydata.dat; DEFINE: XW= (X-3.0) * (W-4.0); VARIABLE: NAMES ARE X M W Y; USEVARIABLES ARE X M W Y; CENTERING IS GRANDMEAN (W); CENTERING IS GRANDMEAN (X); CENTERING IS GRANDMEAN (M); CLUSTER= cluster; BETWEEN = X W; ANALYSIS: TYPE = TWOLEVEL RANDOM; MODEL: %WITHIN% M Y; Y on M(b); % BETWEEN % X W XW M Y; M on X(a1) W XW (a0); Y on M (b1) X W XW; X WITH W XW; X WITH XW; MODEL CONSTRAINT: NEW (ind_h ind_l); Ind_h = (a0 +a1* 0.85)*b1; Ind_l = (a0 - a1*0.85)*b1; NEW(diff); Diff=ind_h - ind_l; OUTPUT: SAMPSTAT; CINTERVAL; My question is 1) When I calculate the Ind_h and Ind_l, should I use b or b1? 2) Do I need to employ 2-1-1 model with random slops (example F in Preacher, Zyphur & Zhang (2010))rather than this tradition MSEM? Thank you so much!! |

1. You can't give a label after more than one coefficient like you do below W XW (a0); 2. Your ind=(a0+a1*...)*b1 expressions are wrong when W is the moderator. See our Mediation page for how to write it. 1) You should use b1 2) No. |
