Conditional Process Analysis: Concepts, Computation, and Advances in the Modeling of the Contingencies of Mechanisms (2020, result): “When using an SEM program, our preference is Mplus (L. K. Muthén & Muthén, 1998-2017) because of its built-in bootstrapping procedure and ability to construct new parameters that are functions of others in the model.”
Beyond a tandem analysis of SEM and PROCESS: Use of PLS-SEM for mediation analyses! (2020, methodology): “This duality in methods is surprising considering that numerous studies have contrasted SEM and regression-based mediation analyses on both conceptual and empirical grounds (e.g., Hayes et al., 2017; Iacobucci et al., 2007; Pek & Hoyle, 2016).”
Factors versus Composites: Guidelines for Choosing the Right Structural Equation Modeling Method (2019, result): “Despite contrary claims in the literature by Hayes, Montoya, and Rockwood (2017) that multiple regression is a better method than SEM—it is not.”
Relationship between Psychological Capital and Quality of Life: The Role of Courage (2020, methodology): “4 [81], through the bootstrapping method with 5000 repetitions; we reported the significance of the indirect effects with a confidence interval (CI) of 95%.”
