Hello everybody,

I have a problem regarding an analysis of a model in SPSS. The model consists of two IV (X and A), one Mediator (M) and my dependent Variable (Y). M is only a mediator for X though, not for A.

I used the Macro of Hayes (Model 4) to calculate my Model. However, here I can only put in A as a covariate, thus also establishing a mediator effect between A and M. To solve this, I redefined the Matrix of A, leaving my syntax as " process y=Y/m=M/x=X/total=1/cov=A/effsize=1/model=4/cmatrix=0,1."

Here is the twist: Process does not specify the total effect model (

"NOTE: Total effect model and estimate generated only when all covariates are specified in all models of M and Y."), therefore giving me no total of Rsquare of my complete model.

Is there any way I can get this result while using SPSS?
