Trying to explain the Mediation Model to someone who is stupid.


A is related to B.
A is related to C.
C is related to B.
C is found to explain a significant percentage of the relationship between A and B.
C is the Mediator.

An intervention is meant to Increase Positive Parenting which in turn will increase positive Child Social Competence.

So The Intervention is Related to Child SOcial Competence, but the relationship is explained by an INcrease in Positive Parenting.

Does anyone disagree with this?

Because this classmate in a group project doesn't, and I'm ready to be angry. :mad:

all I know bro is ideally, the mediator ought to be a disinterested third party.

Your model involves a mediator w/a a conflict of interest. Thus, I don't see how he/she can effectively facilitate conflict resolution.

So does he need a facilitator or a mediator?
