Estimating, Testing, and Comparing Specific Effects in Structural Equation Models: The Phantom Model Approach
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Macho, Siegfried; Ledermann, Thomas – Psychological Methods, 2011
The phantom model approach for estimating, testing, and comparing specific effects within structural equation models (SEMs) is presented. The rationale underlying this novel method consists in representing the specific effect to be assessed as a total effect within a separate latent variable model, the phantom model that is added to the main…

A General Approach to Causal Mediation Analysis
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Imai, Kosuke; Keele, Luke; Tingley, Dustin – Psychological Methods, 2010
Traditionally in the social sciences, causal mediation analysis has been formulated, understood, and implemented within the framework of linear structural equation models. We argue and demonstrate that this is problematic for 3 reasons: the lack of a general definition of causal mediation effects independent of a particular statistical model, the…
