Based on the model in the attachment, how many predictors to be keyed in to G*Power? I received different answers from others:
A) 3 - identify the DV that has most arrows pointing to it. Both C1 and C2 have 3 predictors, it will be considered 3 predictors only for G*Power.
B) 6 (3 predictors for C1 + 3 predictors for C2 = 6 predictors)
C) 8 (Antecedents to mediator B1 are considered, therefore 6 predictors in the answer B plus 2 predictors A1 & A2 = 8 predictors)
D) None of the above
I have read some articles and books but they seldom further explain on this. Appreciate it if you could share your answer with some references that support the answer. Thank you so much.
