Assignment reads
Locate and read an article in the University Library related to a mediation model.
Write a 350-word summary of your article. Be sure to address the following your summary:
• Identify the setting and populations most appropriate for the model described in your selected article.
• Describe the stages of mediation used in the mode.
• Examine the strengths and weaknesses of the model.
What is mediation model?
A mediation model is a statistical and theoretical framework that is used to understand and explain the relationship between two variables. It aims to determine whether and how much a mediator variable explains the relationship between an independent variable and a dependent variable. In a mediation model, the independent variable is the factor that is believed to influence the mediator variable, which in turn affects the dependent variable. By examining the mediation model, researchers can gain insights into the underlying processes and mechanisms through which the independent variable affects the dependent variable.
To fully understand a mediation model and find articles related to it, you can follow these steps:
1. Start by accessing the University Library's website or database. It may require your login credentials provided by the university.
2. Look for a search bar or a search option within the library website. Usually, you can find it on the homepage or in a dedicated section for searching articles and research papers.
3. Type in keywords related to mediation models, such as "mediation model," "mediation analysis," or specific terms related to your field of study.
4. Refine your search by using additional filters such as publication date, journal name, or subject area to ensure that you find articles that are relevant to your assignment.
5. Browse through the search results and select an article that focuses on a mediation model. Make sure to choose an article that is accessible through the University Library, either in full-text or by using their interlibrary loan system.
6. Read the selected article carefully, taking note of the setting, populations, and stages of mediation mentioned in the article. These will be important details to include in your summary.
7. After reading the article, use your understanding of the article to craft a 350-word summary. Be sure to address the three points mentioned in the assignment: identifying the appropriate setting and populations, describing the stages of mediation, and examining the strengths and weaknesses of the model described in the article.
Remember to properly cite the article you selected for your summary, following the required citation style specified in the assignment guidelines.
