Single.Level.ModMed.zip MonteCarlo.CI.zip Multilevel.ModMed.zip Multilevel.ModMed.Plausible.Values.zip 2 Moderated Mediation in Multilevel SEM: Decomposing Effects of Race on Math Achievement Within versus Between High Schools in the United States At roughly similar times in the 1980s, social scientists formalized what have become enduring interests in multilevel modeling (e.g., Raudenbush & Bryk, 1986) and moderation and mediation (e.g., Baron & Kenny, 1986). Today, moderation and mediation models have been synthesized so that these effects can be combined and estimated in a wide variety of

How does self-performance expectation foster breakthrough creativity in the employee's cognitive level? An application of self-fulfilling prophecy

“…We operate a sequence of hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) to analyze the interconnection of the employees within the similar work division who were evaluated by the same supervisor (Zyphur et al, 2019). The ratio of between-group variance for the promotion focus motivation and breakthrough creativity was 48.6% and 40.4% of the total variance, correspondingly.…”

Patterns of perceived parenting styles and associations with night eating syndrome symptoms and correlates among Chinese adolescents: a latent profile analysis

“…The multilevel moderated mediation model is discussed in Zyphur et al (2019) and is illustrated with examples. The estimation described in that article is based on the plausible value methodology so that the modeling uses estimates of the latent variable values.…”

The Moderating Effects of Self-efficacy in the Relationship between Basic Psychological Needs on Smartphone Use and Smartphone Addiction in Adolescents

“…The multilevel moderated mediation model, discussed in Zyphur et al (2019), is described as follows. Suppose that Y ij , M ij , X ij and Z ij are the observed variables for an individual i in cluster j.…”

“…Numerical integration is not needed with this estimation method. We also consider the two-stage estimation method proposed in Zyphur et al (2019). This method attempts to take into account the uncertainty in the centering by estimating plausible values for the between portions of the variables.…”

“…We also discuss how the Bayesian estimation can easily be extended to multilevel models, models with categorical dependent variables, as well as modeling with incomplete data. Preacher et al (2016) and Zyphur et al (2019) describe several two-level moderation models with interactions among the predictors at the within level, the between level, and across the two levels. For these multilevel moderation models, the interaction terms are necessarily interactions of latent variables because of the within-between decomposition of the variables.…”
