Abstract:
A Monte Carlo simulation study is conducted to examine the consequence of ignoring the changes in cluster memberships in multilevel mediation analysis. Results show that the proposed method, Cross-Classified Multilevel Mediation Model (CC-M3), outperforms the conventional multilevel model with substantially smaller relative biases in parameter estimates (about 50% less) and a more consistent and higher coverage rate. Findings of this simulation study inform the empirical researchers that the changes in cluster-membership needs to be appropriately taken into consideration in mediation analysis.
