Abstract

Although there have been a number of studies in the literature that made contributions to guide practitioners on performing power analyses for mediation models, not many focused on moderated mediation models. Although some demonstrated power analysis with moderated mediation effect, they were only with categorical moderator variables with very few categories. The aim in this study is to fill the mentioned gaps in the literature by demonstrating the power analysis of moderated mediation models with continuous moderator variables so that practitioners can implement such analysis.
