Mediation Analysis
SPSS
Free
A student runs a mediation analysis in SPSS (e.g., PROCESS) with 5,000 bootstrap samples. The output for the indirect effect (X → M → Y) shows: Effect = 0.12, BootLLCI = 0.03, BootULCI = 0.21. What is the correct conclusion?
A
The mediation (indirect effect) is statistically significant because the bootstrap confidence interval does not include 0
B
The mediation is not statistically significant because the p-value for the indirect effect is not provided
C
The mediation is not statistically significant because the indirect effect is small (0.12)
D
There is full mediation because the indirect effect is significant
