Hello All,
I have:
# 3 IVs: IV-A, IV-B, IV-C
# 2 MVs: MV-A, MV-B
# 1 DV: DV
The model is IV--> MV-A, MV-B --> DV, with parallel mediation by MV-A and MV-B.
I want to show that IV-A alone has a relationship with both MV-A and MV-B, while IV-B and IV-C have relation only with MV--B.
But I am unable to include all 3 IVs into one model because of high VIF (multicollinearity).
So is it possible for me to have and compare 3 separate models:
# IV-A --> MV-A, MV-B --> DV
# IV-B --> MV-A, MV-B --> DV
# IV-C --> MV-A, MV-B --> DV
All 3 models in one paper and say see, IV-A alone affects MV-A, not the other two?
Please advise.
Thanks in advance!
