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.
Abstract: In this article, we attempt to distinguish between the properties of moderator and mediator variables at a number of levels. First, we seek to make theorists and researchers aware of the importance of not using the terms moderator and mediator interchangeably by carefully elaborating, both conceptually and strategically, the many ways in which moderators and mediators differ. We then go beyond this largely pedagogical function and delineate the conceptual and strategic implications of making use of such distinctions with regard to a wide range of phenomena, including control and stress, attitudes, and personality traits. We also provide a specific compendium of analytic procedures appropriate for making the most effective use of the moderator and mediator distinction, both separately and in terms of a broader causal system that includes both moderators and mediators.

TL;DR: The extent to which method biases influence behavioral research results is examined, potential sources of method biases are identified, the cognitive processes through which method bias influence responses to measures are discussed, the many different procedural and statistical techniques that can be used to control method biases is evaluated, and recommendations for how to select appropriate procedural and Statistical remedies are provided.
Abstract: Interest in the problem of method biases has a long history in the behavioral sciences. Despite this, a comprehensive summary of the potential sources of method biases and how to control for them does not exist. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to examine the extent to which method biases influence behavioral research results, identify potential sources of method biases, discuss the cognitive processes through which method biases influence responses to measures, evaluate the many different procedural and statistical techniques that can be used to control method biases, and provide recommendations for how to select appropriate procedural and statistical remedies for different types of research settings.

Frequently Asked Questions (15)
Q1. What have the authors contributed in "Co-citation and cluster analyses of extant literature on social networks" ?

Over one billion people are currently using social media such as social websites ( Facebook Newsroom 2015 ) ; consequently, numerous academic scholars have developed interest in studying the use of social media and social networks. In this study, the authors collected studies on social-network-related topics that were published between January 1996 and December 2014, assembling a total of 2,565 articles and 81,316 citations. Finally, the results of this study were further discussed to elucidate the core topics relevant to social networks. 

Future studies may collect more articles related to social networks from other databases to perform a trend analysis and explore the evolution of social network research. Future studies may consider different weights for articles published during different periods of time. New articles may have a possibility of being considered highly cited ( value ) articles. In future studies, scholars could extent the period of analysis and incorporate the aforementioned problems associated with processing journal data to investigate future changes and trends in the knowledge structure of social networks, thus further perfecting the core knowledge of social networks. 

SPSS statistical software was used to conduct relevant statistical analyses and to elaborate the core knowledge of research on social networks. 

They found that models of dynamical systems with small-world coupling display enhanced signal-propagation speed, computational power, and synchronizability. 

Current social network research mainly explores topics such as network user status, community relationships, and network centrality. 

fields such as medical innovation have also appeared in the field of social networks, indicating the richness, diversity, and importance of social network research to various academic fields. 

Because the number of social network users has steadily increased along with rapid technological development, the topic of social network evaluation has become an essential research orientation for current and future studies. 

Social network sites analyses utilize the use of the digital networks and related network-based information for understanding relationships among people, teams, departments, organizations, or markets (Ngai et al. 2015; Haynes et al. 2016). 

This study clustered the cocitation matrix, in which data were standardized to az-score, of the frequently cited documents into various groups, obtaining a total of seven clusters. 

Their results showed that the five core factors are trust, technology acceptance and technology application, e-commerce task-related application, e-markets, and identity and evaluation. 

Venkatesh et al. (2003) conducted four research processes: (a) reviewing user acceptance literature and discussing eight prominent models; (b) empirically comparing the eight models and their extensions; (c) formulating a unified model that integrated elements across the eight models; and (d) empirically validating the unified model. 

Granovetter also asserted that the extent of overlap in two people’s friendship networks is directly correlated with the strength of the relational tie between them. 

Ellison et al. (2007) studied the relationship between Facebook use and the formation and maintenance of social capital by assessing three types of social capital: bridging, bonding, and maintained social capital. 

Barney (1991) investigated the relationship between firm resources and sustained competitive advantages and verified four potential resources for creating such advantages: value, rareness, imitability, and substitutability. 

This analysis is a type of bibliometric method that allows quantifying the cocitation relationship between documents (Small 1973).
