Lower Level Mediation Effect Analysis in Two-Level Studies: A Note on a Multilevel Structural Equation Modeling Approach
Raykov, Tenko; Mels, Gerhard
Structural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, v14 n4 p636-648 Oct 2007
This article presents a didactic discussion of a multilevel covariance structure modeling approach to estimation of lowest level mediation effect indexes in two-level studies. The procedure is useful when addressing questions about relations among total and indirect effects between variables of interest while accounting for the hierarchical structure of analyzed data. The discussed method also permits interval estimation and hypothesis tests with respect to related quantities of relevance when evaluating mediated effects with clustered data, and is illustrated on a two-level data set. (Contains 1 figure, 1 table and 1 footnote. Appended are: (1) Syntax File for Two-Level Mediational Analysis; and (2) SPSS Command File for Point and Interval Estimation of the Ratio Direct to Indirect Effect (r1) and Proportion Mediated Effect (r2).)
