Friends, Cognition, and Delinquency: Proactive and Reactive Criminal Thinking as Mediators of the Peer Influence and Peer Selection Effects among Male Delinquents (2016, background): “After all, cognitive variables are well-suited to the task of mediating relationships between other variables (Bandura, 1986; Wu & Zumbo, 2008), and proactive criminal thinking was found to mediate the relationship between peer delinquency and future offending in the only prospective study to…”
Affective Focus Increases the Concordance Between Implicit and Explicit Attitudes (2011, methodology): “…advantages over a more familiar approach of comparing implicit-explicit zero-order correlations between “affect” and “cognitive” conditions: (1) model comparisons are more sensitive (powerful) to detecting differences, zero-order comparisons are underpowered tests (Cohen, 1988), (2) comparing…”
The satisfaction–place attachment relationship: Potential mediators and moderators (2015, methodology): “Place satisfaction was measured using three items borrowed from Yuksel et al. (2010) measured on a 5-point Likert scale (1 = strongly disagree, 5 = strongly agree).”
Need Support, Need Satisfaction, Intrinsic Motivation, and Physical Activity Participation among Middle School Students (2011, background): “The independent variable is conceptualized as a cause of the mediator, which in turn influences the dependent variable (Wu & Zumbo, 2008).”
Mediating Effects of Place Attachment and Satisfaction on the Relationship between Tourists’ Emotions and Intention to Recommend (2017, background): “To benefit theory development, mediators provide useful information on “how” or “why” an independent variable predicts the outcome variable (Bennett 2000; Wu and Zumbo 2008).”
Use of Structural Equation Modeling in Tourism Research (2013, background): “Thus, in a mediation model, the predictor variable is presumed to cause the mediator that in turn causes the outcome variable (Wu and Zumbo 2008).”
