the SEM uses a known statistical model to calculate and goes ahead to test thesignificance of the effect size, but the Baron and kenny only employed a simple logic of determining mediation without going ahead to calculate and test the significance of the effect size.

but how to ue SEM. an guide

SEM is the combination of CFA (Confirmatory factor analysis) and Path analysis. You need to consult the following resources:

Kline, R. B. (2015). Principles and practice of structural equation modeling. Guilford publications.

Schumacker, R. E., & Lomax, R. G. (2004). A beginner's guide to structural equation modeling. Psychology Press.

Byrne, B. M. (2013). Structural equation modeling with AMOS: Basic concepts, applications, and programming. Routledge.

How to report Bootstrapping results? Kindly can u refer me any published article or book in which mediation through bootstrapping is reported. I want to know how the data achieved through bootstrapping is tabulated and reported for mediation anayliis

It is better to test mediation via SEM through the method of bootstrapping. The Sobel test detect mediation in most cases; however, when tested through bootstrapping method in SEM, the mediation does not hold.  Bootstrapping is the powerful method which accurately detects the mediation relationships. Therefore, I prefer the SEM approach over the Baron and Kenny Approach.
