My Question is
I have 3 variables (for example A, B and C)
A is at level 2, where as B and C are at level one (lowest level)
I want test 4 models
1. A------> C (Cross Level)
2. A-------->B (Cross Level)
3. B---------->C (at level one just)
4. A & B -------------> C (cross level where one predictor is at level 2 (A) and other is at level 1 (B)
Can all these relations be tested in HLM software including no 3 where both predictor and outcome variables are of same level Or this will be done by using simple regression/ linear regression??
You should be able to do that fairly easily using mPlus software.
Use analysis type twolevel random and define your relationships under %WITHIN% and %BETWEEN%
You could address the B-->C under the WITHIN
And A&B --> under BETWEEN
it would help to draw out a path diagram and equations
You can test all of them in HLM software. For Level-1 variables, you simply click the DV (C) and IV (B), and for Level-2 variables, you can click A.
