What this diagram shows
- Hypothesis labels on each arrow (H1, H2, H3)
- Mediator and moderator shown in the usual positions
- Control variables kept apart from the main model
Prompt used
Conceptual framework: independent variable influences dependent variable (H1); the independent variable influences a mediator (H2) which influences the dependent variable (H3); a moderator changes the strength of the effect of the independent variable on the dependent variable (H4). Control variables: age, gender and experience.
