This video demonstrates how to test for moderated mediation (for a model containing a single moderator and parallel mediators) using Hayes' Process macro (processmacro.org/index.html) - with a focus on Models 7 and 8.

The data and aspects of the example (although it is not a direct example) are derived from:

Zhou J., Yang, Y., Qiu, X., Yang, X., Pan H, Ban, B., et al. (2016) Relationship between anxiety and burnout among Chinese physicians: A moderated mediation model. PLoS ONE 11(8): e0157013. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0157013.Downloaded from: journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0157013

*Warning and suggestion: This presentation assumes you already have a reasonable understanding of moderated regression and mediation. If you are unfamiliar with these procedures, you will likely find this discussion difficult to follow. My suggestion is to review those other concepts first prior to tackling moderated mediation with Process Models 7 and 8. I have several presentations on these topics, which can be found at the following links:

Mediation: youtube.com/watch?v=vFGSa0KfDYA
Moderated regression: youtube.com/watch?v=4gGJCX6rrAo , youtube.com/watch?v=JZ2fl8exNTE

Additionally, Process Model 8 represents the integration of Process Model 5 (where path c′ is moderated by W) and Model 7 (where path a is moderated by W). You might consider reviewing my videos on those two models here (youtu.be/3Jok2HubhdI) and here (youtu.be/oYMV8yWk_7Y).
