Hi,
I'm writing a short paper using SEM (Structural Equation Modeling), and I just faced a problem while drawing a research model.
I wanted to use a variable which can show a 'paradox' effect; variables similar to 'distortion', but seems there isn't really such variables. I've been googling a lot of papers, but couldn't find any :(
If you know any, could you please share?
Even a short word will be a big help for me.
Thank you very much :D
Jae, sorry, but I could not understand a word....
Perhaps, you can elaborate....
Best,

Thank you very much Dr. Holger Steinmetz,
What I mean is, I am looking for a variable that can show a reversal or inverted effect.
More specifically, in common, Ha: 'Unsatisfaction' has a positive relationship with 'No-revisit intention'. However, I want to add a mediating variable which can distort the relation: Unsatisfaction -> OOO (variavble i am looking for) -> 'Revisit intention'.
I guess the variable have to be something like 'memory distortion', 'misremember', or such including the meaning of reversal or inverted meaning.
Looking forward your help!
Thank you very much :)
This makes no sense. If (Un)satisfaction has any relationship with intention then identifying an unrelated variable will not change anything. I recommend googling for "path tracing" and you will learn three simple rules how causal structures are related to empirical correltions. This delivers the knowledge to play with options yourself.
Good luck
