I have a Moderated Mediation model with a multicategorical IV and I want to estimate it in SPSS Process.

As I understood it, the great advantage in Process is, that Normality and Homoscedasticity assumptions are not a problem (bootstrapping and Heteroscedasticity-consistent estimator like HC3).

However i still want to verify the Linearity of my model. But is that even possible or necessary given that I have a multicategorical IV?

How do I argue that it is not necessary to test for Linearity?

I am struggling to find an exact reference for this - if someone knows a source, I would appreciate it.

Also, do I need to test for anything else?

Thank you so much in advance for your feedback. I appreciate it.
