SmartPLS 4 CB-SEM: Interaction Moderation and Saving Factor Scores

[@DreamdriveHomes]

This is such a relief. Moderation in CB-SEM has always been an issue with so many procedures and methodologies. Finally, this can be done easily using Smart PLS. Thank you!

[@Greg_Ashley]

Very informative. Thanks for producing these videos.

Thanks a lot, that answers my frustation of doing moderation in amos

Hi James, thanks for the informative video. Is there a good resource on what we should report in the paper when using CB-SEM in SmartPLS? Thanks again

[@Gaskination]

Same sort of things you'd report in any CB-SEM analysis: Data normality, measurement validation, model fit, structural analysis.

Hi Gaskin. what are the implications if I fail to correlate my independent variables during my path analysis in CB SEM. does it have any impact on my results?

[@Gaskination]

SmarPLS 4 has a checkbox for automatically correlating exogenous variables. Failing to covary them will change the covariance based model by excluding certain parameters (it will affect model fit and regression weights).

Thank you sooo much for your videos! I have a question: do we have to use z scores for the interactions? Or, does the program use natural scores? Thanks a lot, prof James!

[@Gaskination]

SmartPLS automatically standardizes the appropriate variables. There is also an option to change the method for how that’s done.

@@Gaskination thank you sooo much for your answear!

[@shraddhapande802]

Can we moderate a single variable on multiple relationships in cb sem ?

[@Gaskination]

Try it and see what happens. It should be possible.
