A 4-Day Livestream Seminar Taught by Amanda Montoya, Ph.D.

Mediation and moderation analyses are widely used in many different fields. Mediation analysis tests hypotheses about mechanisms or processes by which effects occur. Moderation analysis examines questions of contingencies (e.g., for whom, or when), commonly described as an “interaction”.

Moderation and mediation can be combined analytically to investigate questions of contingencies in mechanisms. This is called conditional process analysis or moderated mediation. These statistical approaches help researchers generate theoretical models of how and when, which can then be statistically evaluated using observed data.

This course covers methods for statistical mediation, moderation, and conditional process analysis using ordinary least squares (OLS) regression and the PROCESS macro, available for SPSS, SAS, and R.

Topics covered in the course include:

• Path analysis: Direct, indirect, and total effects in mediation models.
• Estimation and inference about indirect effects in single mediator models.
• Models with multiple mediators.
• Estimation of moderation and conditional effects.
• Probing and visualizing interactions.
• Conditional Process Analysis (also known as “moderated mediation”).
• Quantification of and inference about conditional indirect effects.
• Testing a moderated mediation hypothesis and comparing conditional indirect effects.

This introductory seminar focuses primarily on research designs that are experimental or cross-sectional in nature with continuous outcomes. It does not cover complex models involving dichotomous outcomes, latent variables, models with repeated measures, nested data (i.e., multilevel models), or the use of structural equation modeling.
