Why does a procedure of bootstrapping in Mplus "make" a value of standard errors "bigger" compared to Sobel test (default in Mplus) for mediation?

30 November 2015 0 8K Report

Addition of bootstrapping into Mplus analysis did not change the indirect effect coefficient but increased a value of standard error. Please clarify. Thank you
