I know this will be a vague question, without much details related to the model. But, what is the range of R-square standardized estimate? My thought is it would still be 0 to 1, because you cannot explain more than 100% variance. So, is it plausible to see in a model a standardized estimate of R-square of .957, this seems unusually high for a social science model. -Thanks

Any r-square is between 0 and 1. Yes, that value looks suspiciously high. This may be due to multicollinearity.

Hi Bengt, thanks very much for the response as I figured. I am helping a student get ready to defend a dissertation on 7/14/2020 and she asked for my assistance at the very last minute, and I had no involvement with her analyses.

Hello,
I was wondering whether it would be correct to use the R-square provided in the output as an effect size for a two-level mediation model with mediations at both levels? I was also wondering what kind of R-square it is? Is it the same one as for regular mediation (i.e., the completely standardized indirect effect as outlined by Preacher & Kelley, 2011)?

Thank you in advance!

R-square is given for each equation on each level using the total variance at that level as the denominator.
