Self‐Efficacy and Planning Predict Dietary Behaviors in Costa Rican and South Korean Women: Two Moderated Mediation Analyses (2009, background): “In the second case, there is an interaction between Me and Mo (Edwards & Lambert, 2007; Kenny, 2008; MacKinnon, 2008; Preacher, Rucker, & Hayes, 2007).”
Developing an extended Theory of Planned Behavior model to predict consumers’ intention to visit green hotels (2014, background): “Due to the indirect effects and mediated relations are critical to an explanation of SEM (James, 2008; Kenny, 2008).”
The mediating effect of job satisfaction and organizational commitment on self-reported performance: more robust evidence of the PSM—performance relationship (2009, background): “Although this latter step is not explicitly mentioned as a necessary step in the original Baron and Kenny (1986) article, as it focused on complete mediation (Kenny, 2008), it should be incorporated in any model testing partial mediation (Wood et al., 2008).”
The study, evaluation, and improvement of university student self-efficacy (2016, background): “In developing Finding 3, we explored the indirect or mediating (Baron and Kenny 1986; Kenny 2008) effect of self-efficacy on achievement.”
Sales-Force Reactions to Corporate Social Responsibility: Attributions, Outcomes, and the Mediating Role of Organizational Trust (2010, background): “18 that complete (full) mediation is an unlikely route in real world studies (Kenny, 2008).”
Does taking the good with the bad make things worse? How abusive supervision and leader–member exchange interact to impact need satisfaction and organizational deviance (2012, background): “Such work is important in that it advances theory and suggests leverage points for practitioners to influence and mitigate the negative effects of abusive supervision (Kenny, 2008).”
Interactions do not only tell us when, but can also tell us how: Testing process hypotheses by interaction (2011, methodology): “In addition, the Experimental-causal-chain design presumes that one is able to manipulate TV in Experiment 2 to levels comparable to those produced by X in Experiment 1 (see Kenny, 2008; Word, Zanna, & Cooper, 1974).”
The Merits of Using Longitudinal Mediation (2016, background): “Kenny (2008 , 2014) has explicitly stated that mediation is designed to be a causal argument, but some researchers seem to be unclear about what this assertion means.”
The relationship between cultural values, cultural intelligence and negotiation styles (2019, methodology): “To test for the mediation, there are many methods and approaches suggested in the literature (Kenny, 2008; Preacher & Hayes, 2004), and the two most popular methods used to detect mediation are the Sobel test (Sobel, 1982) and the causal approach by Baron and Kenny (1986).”
Advances in mediation analysis: a survey and synthesis of new developments. (2015, background): “Because many phenomena worth studying are not subject to manipulation for practical or ethical reasons, much of psychological science would have to be abandoned if only experimental evidence were accepted as scientifically sound (Kenny 2008).”
Mediational Inferences in Organizational Research (2008, background): “Both of the commentaries in this issue by James (2008) and Kenny (2008) provide interesting personal reflections of the years preceding their landmark publications from the mid-1980s.”
Commute time and subjective well-being in urban China (2016, methodology): “We use the following bootstrapping strategy to obtain confidence thresholds for the specific indirect effects (Kenny, 2008; Preacher and Hayes, 2008).”
Testing a new measure of work–life balance: a study of parent and non-parent employees from New Zealand (2013, background): “However, the use of SEM does somewhat mitigate this factor (Kenny 2008), and the splitting of the samples provides strong confidence that these effects are not likely due to methods issues.”
