I am specifically interested if there is a top-tier journal article that clearly differentiates between antecedents and moderators, as sometimes antecedents can also be moderators and vice versa. For example: how do you argue that xyz is an antecedent and not a moderator and vice versa? Any help is highly appreciated!

An antecedent must come before in time.
A moderator slows down (or possibly enhances) a process.
I will send you a top-tier paper by RGmail.

let x, y, z be 3 vars.
x is antecedent if it causes both y and z.
Example x=heat, y=ice creams sold, z= deaths in swimmingpools.
x is a moderator if it conditons the wffect of y upon z. It can jncrease or decrease it.
