We tested a three-way interactions among a Lv3 variable (coid) and two LV2 variables (Totendiv & Tid), and a mediation at Lv2 (Tcoh). That is, we tested whether Tcoh (team cohesion) mediates that relationship among three way interactions of coid, totendiv and Tid and OCBT (outcome). Also control variables at Lv1 (gender orgten Edu Ideals).
Could you take a look at the syntax and give us some advice on model constraints?
