So basically all steps are same for simple and parallel mediation just no. of mediators are different? also, if IV has subscales then same process would be repeated for each of that subscale? also I heard parallel mediation is done using total scores not mean scores. what is the difference though? Your video was very well-made, thank you!
Yes, you are right. The fundamental steps in mediation analysis are similar for both simple and parallel mediation, with the main distinction being the number of mediators involved in parallel mediation if you considering dimentions of a IV, in case IV should be considered as as a higher order construct and for such testing SEM is usually recommended.
How to make an APA 7 style table for this?
Very helpful! Thank you! So can I conclude that there is only 1 mediator (only AC) , no parallel mediator in the second mechanism?
Yes! exactly

Please can I get the data file to practice through my mail?
Sorry, Lawrence, data cant be shared. Good luck
