Mediation moderation command

[Juliet Oriaifo]

Hello,

I was wondering if there is mediation moderation command all in one. Please see the model that I am trying to test:

Independent variable - mediator - dependent variable

Moderator is in between independent variable and mediator.

This 2021 presentation by Andrea Bellavia may be helpful, as it provides an overview of (some) relevant Stata commands. Here is the presentation on -med4way- that it mentions. The UCLA IDRE website also has several examples of how to estimate mediation models using Stata (most of them using the -sem- command, IIRC).

HTH.


PS- IMO, all mediation analysts, and even people who are just reading the results of mediation analyses, should be required to study this article by Klaus Fieder, Harris & Schott (2018):

Fiedler, K., Harris, C., & Schott, M. (2018). Unwarranted inferences from statistical mediation tests–An analysis of articles published in 2015. Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, 75, 95-102. https://www.sciencedirect.com/scienc...22103117300628
