1. Use a literature research database to find an article in an area of interest to you with the word mediation in either the title or the abstract. Read the abstract to make sure the term mediation refers to statistical mediation (rather than, say, legal mediation). Read the article. Do the authors also refer to mediation as an indirect effect? How do they test for mediation? Do they use any of the methods described in this chapter, or do they use structural equation modeling? Do you understand the test that was used?
