Hello,

What software did you use to calculate mediation? Did you use Sobel's test? 

Regards, Witold

Hi Witold,

I used SPSS software to calculate simple mediation analysis. One DV one IV and one mediator. The mediation is verified by using Sobel test and Bootstrap method with 95% CI.

Hi,

Sobel test is recognised as limitation in mediation analysis (possibiity of kurtosis). 

Also, there is no point to dwell too much on your results as there is NO mediation effect found in your results. I reckon all paths are non-sig, hence path a, b, c and so on are non-significant. To be precise you could mention all your paths from your analysis.

Regards, Witold

Thank you for your answer. If I understood your point correctly, do you recommend to present (publish) all non-sig paths with regression coefficients?

Best regards,

Waclaw

Kindly find the detail for your path C,
