  1. Mediation and Moderation as Tools for Theory Development in Social and Personality Psychology A Symposium SPSP 2010 SPSP 2010

  2. Abstract Approaches to mediation and moderation that were described in the classic Baron and Kenny (1986) article are widely used in social and personality psychology, but they have also stimulated extensive methodological advances (e.g. MacKinnon, 2008; Bauer, Preacher & Gil, 2006; Muller, Yzerbyt & Judd, 2005; Shrout & Bolger, 2002), and they have also been critiqued from the causal analysis perspective (e.g. Jo, 2008; Kraemer, Kiernan, Essex & Kupfer, 2008). In this symposium we review advances in mediation/moderation methods with the goal of refining the understanding of social and personality processes. These methods allow emphases on within person mediation paths, and on how mediation effects might vary from person to person beyond specified moderators. Participants discuss ways that conventional Baron and Kenny analyses can be misleading, whether and how variables can serve both as mediators and moderators, benefits of new methods in structural equation models for multilevel data, and integration of formal causal models into mediation analyses. Practical suggestions will be made for more rigorous and informative mediation analyses that yield deeper insights into basic psychological process. We will end with an open discussion about whether publication standards for mediation analyses should be updated from current conventions. SPSP 2010
