mediation analysis
Hello,
I ran a mediation analysis using JASP, but could not find the associations between my predictors and the mediated factor. I tried to find them using the plot, but the estimates there miss p value and sd. Attached is my analysis.
I would love to have your help!
Thank you!

Hi Shani,
indeed, the mediation analysis in JASP does not give standard errors and p-values for individual path coefficients currently. There is an issue here about this same problem. If you comment on that issue, the developers might give it higher priority!
There are 2 workarounds
1) Copy the lavaan code from mediation analysis into the SEM analysis (there is an option to show the lavaan syntax in the mediation module). The SEM analysis shows all parameter estimates.
2) Perform regression, with as outcome your mediator and as predictors your predictors. The estimates should be the same and the standard errors too!
Hope this helps!
Wow! Thank you so much! It is so helpful!
