TLDR
In this paper, a step-by-step guide for performing bootstrap mediation analyses is provided, and the test of joint significance is also briefly described as an alternative to both the normal theory and bootstrap methods.Abstract:
P. A. Frazier, A. P. Tix, and K. E. Barron (2004) highlighted a normal theory method popularized by R. M. Baron and D. A. Kenny (1986) for testing the statistical significance of indirect effects (i.e., mediator variables) in multiple regression contexts. However, simulation studies suggest that this method lacks statistical power relative to some other approaches. The authors describe an alternative developed by P. E. Shrout and N. Bolger (2002) based on bootstrap resampling methods. An example and step-by-step guide for performing bootstrap mediation analyses are provided. The test of joint significance is also briefly described as an alternative to both the normal theory and bootstrap methods. The relative advantages and disadvantages of each approach in terms of precision in estimating confidence intervals of indirect effects, Type I error, and Type II error are discussed.read more

Contemporary approaches to assessing mediation in communication research.
TL;DR: Data analysis usually focuses on examining if the putative causal variable is related to the outcome using a linear model such as analysis of variance or linear regression, and when accompanied by good research design is sufficient to answer the question as to whether variation in X causes variation in Y.

Reuben M. Baron,David A. Kenny +1 more
TL;DR: This article seeks to make theorists and researchers aware of the importance of not using the terms moderator and mediator interchangeably by carefully elaborating the many ways in which moderators and mediators differ, and delineates the conceptual and strategic implications of making use of such distinctions with regard to a wide range of phenomena.
