Welke van de volgende is niet een van de nadelen van de methode van Baron en Kenny om mediatie te beoordelen?
The three disadvantages of the Baron and Kenny method are the following:
Baron and Kenny rely too much on the statistical significance of c and c’. So, if c’=.5 (P=0.049) we conclude that there is mediation while if c’=.5 (P=0.051), we conclude that there is no mediation
Baron and Kenny suggest the testing of the significance of a and b. However, mediation is assessed by the significance of the indirect effect ab which is not the same as testing of the significance of a and b separately.
The condition that a total effect c should exist is not necessary. This is the case in suppression.
Therefore the option “The condition that the indirect effect ab should exist is not necessary” is the correct answer
