I am developing a model to be tested by SEM in AMOS, with one independent variable (continuous) , one mediator (continuous ) three moderator variables (categorical : two levels each) and one dependent variable (continuous). Pls. let me know the possibility of modeling this relationship in AMOS ?
Actually it's possible but complicated. Firstly your overall model fit will be bad with such model. And you have to use estimands for testing each mediator or moderator effect seperately. I suggest you to test this relationship at least with two models. One for mediator and one for moderators.
I understand the risk of putting every thing in one model. Thank you very much for your suggestion Berat Cicek .
Dear Timo, All three moderators are of two levels and not necessarily the experimental conditions but the attribute of the independent variable measured as categorical variables. I was planning the test the effects separately in form of interaction term. Your clarification enlighten my understanding on its possibility. Thank you very much for your valuable insights on this regards Timo Mandler .
Timo Mandler and Berat Cicek Any suggestions for continuous moderator of latent construct? ( Moderator is Work-Life Balance, between Mediator and DV).
Thanks
