For my model, i'm using hayes process model 6 with 3 mediators. I hypothesize that my M1 mediates between X and M2/M3. To which effect should I look in order to answer this hypothesis? Or doesn't it make any sense to hypothesize that?
Should I transform my model for this hypothesis, into model 4? Where X will be X, M1 will be M1 but M2/M3 will be Y? or are there effects that I will be missing out for?
Thank you for answering in advance!
