Testing Mediator Effects Three regression equations should be estimated • Regressing the mediator on the IV--the IV must affect the mediator (Path A) • Regressing the DV on the IV--the IV must affect the DV (Path C) • Regressing the DV on both IV and on mediator--mediator must affect the DV, and the effect of the IV on DV must be less than the effect in the second equation
Test Mediator Effect (Satisfaction) • Model 1: Mediator and IVs • Model 2: DV and IVs • Model 3: Full Model (with interactions) Regressing Satisfaction on IVs: Sat = b0 + b1(IV1) + b2(IV2) + b3(IV3) + b4(IV4) + b5(IV5) Regressing PI on IVs: PI = b0 + b1(IV1) + b2(IV2) + b3(IV3) + b4(IV4) + b5(IV5) Regressing PI on Satisfaction, Loyalty, and IVs: PI = b0 + b1(IV1) + b2(IV2) + b3(IV3) + b4(IV4) + b5(IV5) + + b6(IV1*Sat) + b7(IV2*Sat) + b8(IV3*Sat) + b9(IV4*Sat) + b10(IV5*Sat) + b11(Sat)
Conceptual Model H1 IV1 H6 H17 H2 H7 IV2 H16 Satisfaction Purchase Intention H11 H3 H8 IV3 H9 H4 • For each IV, there are both direct effect and indirect • effect from the IV to DV • Considering the effects of IV1 on DV, the direct effect • is tested by H1; whereas, the indirect effects are • tested by H6 and H11 IV4 H5 H10 IV5

Test Mediator Effect (Satisfaction) • Model 1: Mediator and IVs • check whether an IV effects mediator • at least one of the coefficients/parameter estimates is not equal to 0 (at least b1, b2, b3, b4, or b5 ≠ 0) Regressing Satisfaction on IVs: Sat = b0 + b1(IV1) + b2(IV2) + b3(IV3) + b4(IV4) + b5(IV5)
Test Mediator Effect (Satisfaction) • Model 2: DV and IVs • check whether an IV effects DV • at least one of the coefficients/parameter estimates is not equal to 0 (at least b1,2, b2,2, b3,2, b4,2, or b5,2 ≠ 0) Regressing PI on IVs: PI = b0 + b1,2(IV1) + b2,2(IV2) + b3,2(IV3) + b4,2(IV4) + b5,2(IV5)
Test Mediator Effect (Satisfaction) Regressing PI on Satisfaction, Loyalty, and IVs: PI = b0 + b1,3(IV1) + b2,3(IV2) + b3,3(IV3) + b4,3(IV4) + b5,3(IV5) + + b6(IV1*Sat) + b7(IV2*Sat) + b8(IV3*Sat) + b9(IV4*Sat) + b10(IV5*Sat) + b11(Sat) • Model 3: Full Model (with interactions) • check whether Mediator effects DV; therefore, b16 must not equal to 0 (b16 ≠ 0) • check whether the effect of the IV on DV must be less than the same effect in the second equation; therefore, one of these must be true: • b1,3 < b1,2 • b2,3 < b2,2 • b3,3 < b3,2 • b4,3 < b4,2 • b5,3 < b5,2

Model Developing with Moderator Can we directly add gender into our regression model? Sat = b0 + b1(comm) + … + b7(avail) + b8(gender) The answer is NO; All variables in MLR must be interval, ratio scales, or dummy variable; ‘gender’ has only nominal scale (male and female)
Model Developing with Moderator • We need to transform nominal-scale variable (gender) into dummy variable • Dummy variable has only 2 values (0 or 1; 0 means that category is not present; 1 mean it is present) • For nominal-scale variable with (n) values (# of categories), we need (n-1) dummy variables to represent them • Gender (male/female) has two values; therefore, we need 2-1 = 1 dummy variable
Dummy Variable • Gender (male/female) is transformed to dummy variable, say female • female = 1 if a respondent is female = 0 if otherwise Model for Male is called the based model
Dummy Variable Cluster membership (3 segments; 1, 2, and 3) is transformed to 2 dummy variables, say s1, and s2 s1 = 1 if a respondent belongs to segment 1 = 0 if otherwise s2 = 1 if a respondent belongs to segment 2 = 0 if otherwise Segment 3 is called the based segment here
Dummy Variable Cluster membership (3 segments; 1, 2, and 3) is transformed to 2 dummy variables, say s1, and s2 s1 = 1 if a respondent belongs to segment 1 = 0 if otherwise s2 = 1 if a respondent belongs to segment 2 = 0 if otherwise Segment 3 is called the based segment here

Overall Satisfaction Model with Gender Regression Model for Predicting Overall Satisfaction with Advisor: Sat = .055 + .180(comm) + .117(encou) + .328(info) + .402(avail) - .082(female) • Model for female (female = 1) • Model for male (female = 0) Regression Model for Predicting Overall Satisfaction with Advisor: Sat = (.055 - .082) + .180(comm) + .117(encou) + .328(info) + .402(avail) Regression Model for Predicting Overall Satisfaction with Advisor: Sat = .055 + .180(comm) + .117(encou) + .328(info) + .402(avail) Coefficient of female dummy indicates the difference of Overall Satisfaction between female and based category (male (female=0), in this case)
Model Developing with Moderator • Presenting only direct effect of gender is not enough • Moderator effect is also represented as crossover interaction between IVs and moderator (gender) • Interaction variables are created by directly multiple IVs with moderator (dummy variable/female) • For example, new interaction fcomm comes from female times comm (fcomm = female * comm)
Creating Interaction Variable in SPSS From Menu: Transform >> Compute Variables
Overall Satisfaction Model with Gender Now we will run a regression model with: • ‘Overall Satisfaction with Advisor’ as DV • 15 variables as IVs • 7 original IVs • 1 female dummy variable, and • 7 interaction variables (interaction between IVs and female)
