38. SPSS AMOS Series - Moderation Analysis with Categorical Moderator using Interaction Term

[@erasuas]

Hello, Professor, in your book, page 223, "moderation testing Categorical Moderator", I do not see the comparison of two categorical factors figure as we can see in your video 4:20 excel figure. Is it also necessary when we write a paper to demonstrate this figure?

[@researchwithfawad]

The figure is from Excel. Yes, if moderation is significant, slope analysis is required.

Informative video. thanks, prof. which moderation analysis do we need to follow with the Categorical variables? do we need to use Interaction Term or MGA?

[@researchwithfawad]

Pleasure. MGA if all relationships are moderated, interaction if not all relationships are moderated.

[@researchwithfawad]

Pleasure. MGA if all relationships are moderated, interaction if not all relationships are moderated.

Thank you very much, Fawad! Very useful! As I understand we can do all the job with the latent variables first in the measurement model. Then, in the imputed variables second order model, we can introduce the categorical moderators. Am I right?

[@researchwithfawad]

Thanks. I am glad you liked it. Yes, you are right. Moderating effect shall be introduced when the measurement model is first assessed.

Thank you very much for the helpful video. I want to ask Sir. How we build measurement model with categorical moderator? i confuse and cant imagine that because categorical moderator has no indicators. please help me to understand it.

[@researchwithfawad]

Categorical moderator is not assessed using measurement model.

Dear Prof. Your video is very helpful thank you. I have a question about how to analyze moderated mediation analysis between psychological capital, social capital (as moderated var), green human resource management (as mediator var), and green creativity which also moderated by gender? can we also use multi group analysis for this model using AMOS? please reply soon, Thank you for your assistance.

[@researchwithfawad]

Thanks for watching. Yes you can do multi-group but then the moderator should affect all the mediation paths.

[@widhayanipurisetioningtyas7506]

@@researchwithfawad So, there are 2 moderators here: social capital and gender, and the moderators affects all the mediation paths. In this case, can we use multi-group analysis?

[@researchwithfawad]

Yes
