The interplay of perceived stress, self-determination and school engagement in adolescence (2014, methodology): “As recommended by Preacher and Hayes (2008a, 2008b), we conducted bootstrapping (bootstrap¼ 1000) to assess the effects of mediators by constructing confidence intervals (CI) around the estimates.”
A general multilevel SEM framework for assessing multilevel mediation. (2010, neutral): “…(Wood, Goodman, Beckmann, & Cook, 2008), following the instructions of numerous methodologists who have investigated mediation analysis (e.g., Baron & Kenny, 1986; Edwards & Lambert, 2007; MacKinnon, 2008; MacKinnon et al., 2002; Preacher & Hayes, 2004, 2008a, 2008b; Shrout & Bolger, 2002).”
The role of relational uncertainty in depressive symptoms and relationship quality (2010, methodology): “Participants The recruitment procedures followed Rehman et al.’s (2008) recommendation to solicit samples with a range of scores on depressive symptoms and relationship quality.”
How Do We React When Our Favorite Characters Are Taken Away? An Examination of a Temporary Parasocial Breakup (2011, background): “…can conclude that the 5Although some have argued that the total relationship between the independent and dependent variable is a necessary condition for an indirect relationship, such a relationship is indeed not a necessary condition for statistical mediation (Hayes, 2009; Preacher & Hayes, 2008).”
Behavioral Integrity: How Leader Referents and Trust Matter to Workplace Outcomes (2012, background): “Recent discussions in literature indicate that threestep regression models have certain limitations that are addressed by conducting mediation analyses with path models (Cheung and Lau 2008; Hayes 2009; Preacher and Hayes 2008; Preacher and Kelley 2011).”
The Effects of Perceived Corporate Social Responsibility on Employee Attitudes (2014, methodology): “Specifically we calculated standardized indirect effects from the standardized scores (Preacher & Hayes, 2008; Raykov, Brennan, Reinhardt, & Horowitz, 2008), which has been preferred and also has advantages of interpretability of effect sizes and being able to compare results across studies…”
Transformational leadership, psychological empowerment, and the moderating role of mechanistic–organic contexts (2014, methodology): “To assess the indirect effect of transformational leadership on employee performance and OCBs through psychological empowerment (Hypotheses 1 and 2), we used hierarchical multiple regression along with a bootstrap algorithm procedure (Preacher & Hayes, 2008).”
The social side of gaming: How playing online computer games creates online and offline social support (2012, methodology): “Following the procedure recommended by Preacher and Hayes (2008), the indirect effect of physical proximity, social proximity , and familiarity on offline social support was bootstrapped with 5000 bootstrap samples with replacement.”
No Longer “All-American”? Whites’ Defensive Reactions to Their Numerical Decline (2015, background): “We tested whether the indirect effect (IE) of perceived White population decrease on assimilation endorsement through prototypicality threat was significant over and above the IEs of realistic and symbolic threat (Preacher & Hayes, 2008).”
Compassion for climate change victims and support for mitigation policy (2016, methodology): “In contrast, there was 2 This was essentially a parallel multiple mediator model (Hayes, 2013), which we chose because of its several advantages over separate simple mediation models (see Ding, Ng, & Li, 2014; Preacher & Hayes, 2008a; 2008b).”
Turning Agents into Psychological Principals: Aligning Interests of Non‐Owners Through Psychological Ownership (2013, neutral): “To test the mediation model, we applied the SPSS macro of Preacher and Hayes (2008a) which combines the stepwise procedure of Baron and Kenny (1986) with the Sobel test and also allows bootstrapping.”
