My area of research is Marketing.In my research study, there is one independent variable whose impact is to be assessed on multiple sequential mediating variables and one dependent variable. I am afraid that that the results will be insignificant.Please guide.
Please explain your independent, dependent and mediating variables in more detailed manner.
Dear
Mazhar Ali There is no need to be afraid or worry if results are insignificant or significant.
Don't worry too much about the results being significant or insignificant...... rather you must look for the justification/reasons behind the results @ Mazher Ali
The significance of a mediation test does not depend on the number of independent variable and the number of mediator in the model. So, no basis to worry.
don't worry go ahead. if data is robust than there will not be any issue
There is no restriction on the number of IVs or Mediating variables or DVs in a model. If the results are insignificant, then it will be as a result of other issues other than the number of your IVs, DVs or mediating variable. This scenario will require further investigation.
