BACKGROUND

RESEARCH M ODEL

M ETHODS
• Pat h analysis represent s an early at t empt at
dealing w it h causal relat ionsh ips

• Developed by Sew allWright in t he 1930’s
• Current ly, causal analysis is done using st r uct ural
equat ion modelling


• Pat h analysis is useful ini il ust rat ing a num ber of
t he issues involved in causal analysis

DEFINITIONS
• Exogenous variable – a variable whose causes are out side of
t he model

• Endogenous variable – a variable whose causes are inside t he
model

• Recursive model – a causal model that is unidirectional (oneway causal flow). It has no feedback loops nor any reciprocal
effect . In a recurcive model, a variable cannot be both cause
and effect at the same t ime

• Nonrecursive model – a causal model with feedback loops
and/ or reciprocal effect s

• Path coefficient – st andardized regression coefficient
predicting one variable from anot her


ASSUM PTIONS
• Relat ion among models are linear, addit ive, and causal.
Curvilinear, mult iplicat ive, or int eract ion relat ions are
excluded

• Residual are uncorrelat ed with all other variables and
residuals in the model

• There is one-way causal flow
• The variable are measured on an int erval scale

M EDIATING VARIABLES
A mediating variables is a variable that describes how rather than w hen effect w ill
occur by accounting for the relationship betw een the independent and dependent
variable. A mediating relationship is one in w hich t he path relating X to Z is
mediated by a third variable (Y)

M ODERATING VARIABLES
A moderat ing variable is variable t hat affect s t he direct ion and/ or st rengt h of t he
relat ion bet w een dependent and independent variables. Specifically w it hin a
correlat ional analysis framew ork, a moderat or is a t hird variable t hat affect s t he zeroorder correlat ion bet w een t w o ot her variables. (Baron and Kenny, 1986: p. 1174)

Piecemeal approach (1)
• To combine moderat ion and mediat ion involves analyzing
moderat ion and mediation in piecemeal fashion and
int erpret ing their result s joint ly.

• Wit h this approach, moderat ion is usually t est ed wit h analysis
of variance (ANOVA) or regression analysis, in which t he
dependent variable Y is regressed on the independent
variable X, the moderator variable M , and their product XM ,

as follows:

Y= b 1X + b 2 M + b 3XM + e

54-10

Piecemeal approach (2)
• M ediat ion is t est ed separat ely, t ypically wit h t he causal
st eps procedure (Baron & Kenny, 1986), in which t here
relat ionships among X, Z, and t he mediat or variable Y are
analyzed as follows:






(a) Z is regressed on X,
(b) Y is regressed on X,
(c) Z is regressed on both X and Y.

These regression equat ions can be writ t en as follows:
Z = aX + e1
Y = bX + e2
Z = c1X + c2Y + e3
