I got this comment from a respected reviewer for one of my paper submitted for publication since I used Baron and Kenny's approach for mediation test.
I just need to defense and justify the Baron and Kenny's approach and I find it late now to use Bootstrapping approach now, what shall I answer him or her??
Plz advice and help & Many thanks
"One of the major limitations (as critiqued by scholars) of Baron and Kenny’s mediation is the issue of normality of the indirect effect (the same is accused of Sobel test too) so it’s better to carry out bootstrap (which is a resampling technique with replacement) along with baron and Kenny, so that the results will get more credibility".
