Here's a fun pet project I've been working on: udreamed.com/. It is a dream analytics app. Here is the RUclips channel where we post a new video almost three times per week: ruclips.net/channel/UCiujxblFduQz8V4xHjMzyzQ Also available on iOS: apps.apple.com/us/app/udreamed/id1054428074 And Android: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.unconsciouscognitioninc.unconsciouscognition&hl=en Check it out! Thanks!
Literally the single best explanation of mediating vs. moderating variables. I've struggled through a whole year of my PhD trying to get this. And within 5 minutes, now I get it! THANK YOU THANK YOU
James, you will be the reason I will be able to finish writing my Master's thesis proposal today. No video or teacher or lecture slides have been able to help me learn this ever. I wish you many many subscribers, likes and whatever you need to be happy in life. Thank you. For others, if there are the following variables: 1. motivation to learn about moderators and mediators 2. ease of learning about moderators and mediators 3. efforts in searching for James' YT channel 4. presence of other crappy videos on the same topic Then, "motivation to learn about moderators and mediators" is the IV, "ease of learning about moderators and mediators" is the DV, "efforts in searching for James' YT channel" is the mediator, and "presence of other crappy videos on the same topic" is the moderator.
I have spent numerous hours, read several books, and watched many videos trying to figure this out. This was by far the most beneficial explanation. Thank you.
Mr Gaskin, thank you for this explanation. As narrow as the focus of the video may seem, it has influenced my entire life in altering how I understand cause and effect, and will benefit every aspect of every function in which I serve. I cannot thank you enough for this.
After years of trying to find a simple way to understand these two concepts I finally get it! Thanks a bunch. If I got it correctly this time, the satisfaction with my learning after watching your video was the mediator that made me sign up to your channel ;)
FINALLY get this. The value of just explaining something in simplistic, understandable terms can’t be overstated. Reading the comments I know I’m not the only one! Thank you! 🙌🏻
James, I appreciate this explanation more than you know. While I've had 20 different explanations of this concept and do understand what they mean, this video helps me understand the criteria. Great explanation!
Thank you so much for this. After hours of googling, reading, and watching numerous explanations about the topics, I can now have a break because of your video. Very much appreciated :)
years staying in academia, had to keep visiting these two concepts since always get confused, now finally get it n think won't get confused anymore. thank you James!!!
This helped me so much, THANKS to you I can finally wrap my hand around this and get cracking . I was all over the place constantly switching variables, so lost. This video clarified everything!
Sooooo glad someone still knows that you either have man parts or woman parts. Thanks for the video as well. I am working a research class for Clinical Mental health and the book was less than helpful in explaining this. Very much appreciated.
Finally I could find a perfect explanation! Thank you for sharing this video. It is extremely important for me to understand the difference as I will be dealing with moderation analysis soon. Thank you, James! :)
Very clear explanation and lessens my headache in understanding their difference 😂 Kidding aside, thank you, very helpful as I am doing my dissertation paper now.
Your videos helped me so much when I was a PhD student. I am now a lecturer and I still come here to refresh on stats. Thanks so much for these videos it’s so appreciated.
I had a problem actually keeping the words themselves straight. I think because for me they kind of bring up a third thing in relation to two things, especially in reference to people. (A moderator in a meeting, A mediator in a debate) So what I'm going to associate it with is "moderation" as in the saying "everything in moderation." What is this everything? It's a situation that tips the scale in a certain direction. The context. The condition. When and when not? When one drinks too much. When one exercises too much. or Whom. A person who is too restrictive in their diet.
Dear Professor Gaskin, I have been learning about your videos since a few years ago, and they are all beneficial! Lately, I came across a mediation model (simple mediation model, model 4). My variables are as follows: IV (emotional intelligence), MV( resilience), and DV (perceived stress). In my study, emotional intelligence is believed to positively predict resilience (MV), and resilience (MV) is believed to negatively predict perceived stress (DV). I have an IV-DV hypothesis in which emotional Intelligence is believed to negatively predict perceived stress (DV). However, I got confused after running PROCESS macro for my test. Here are my results: I found a significant indirect effect (presence of a mediation), a negative sign, a nonsignificant direct effect (positive sign), and a significant Total effect (negative sign). I don't know why the direct effect has the opposite sign to the indirect and total effect, even if it is nonsignificant. Is this common in mediation and what will be the implications if I have an opposite direct effect sign (nonsignificant)? I would greatly appreciate your reply.

I've watched about 20 videos trying to get my head around this difference and never quite got it. Finally, I understand. Thank you, James.

WOW!
James, you will be the reason I will be able to finish writing my Master's thesis proposal today. No video or teacher or lecture slides have been able to help me learn this ever. I wish you many many subscribers, likes and whatever you need to be happy in life. Thank you.
For others, if there are the following variables:
1. motivation to learn about moderators and mediators
2. ease of learning about moderators and mediators
3. efforts in searching for James' YT channel
4. presence of other crappy videos on the same topic
Then,
"motivation to learn about moderators and mediators" is the IV,
"ease of learning about moderators and mediators" is the DV,
"efforts in searching for James' YT channel" is the mediator, and
"presence of other crappy videos on the same topic" is the moderator.
I share your sentiments
The briefest, easiest and efficient way among all explanations. Thank you.
I CANNOT BELIEVE I FINALLY GET THIS. I'm sick of wasting my money in classes that leave me more confused. Thank you!!!!!!
I have spent numerous hours, read several books, and watched many videos trying to figure this out. This was by far the most beneficial explanation. Thank you.

I read about the difference 1000 times and always would forget when i needed meaning I never understood, thank you for such a clear example

This video is by far the simplest and most understanding video. Thank you sooo much James for using these simple and not complex examples.
FINALLY get this. The value of just explaining something in simplistic, understandable terms can’t be overstated. Reading the comments I know I’m not the only one! Thank you! 🙌🏻
Amazing and very insightful and concise explanation for this confusingly issue, thank you James.
I wish you were my lecturer. My teacher is simply wasting hours and hours of my time using complicated research terms when you did it in 30 seconds.
James, I appreciate this explanation more than you know. While I've had 20 different explanations of this concept and do understand what they mean, this video helps me understand the criteria. Great explanation!
This is literally easiest explaination about the difference between them. Thank you so much!!
fantastic, straightforward and clear explanations, James. You're amzing!
Studying for my Program Evaluation Final for my MPH degree, thank you for your service !!!!!!
This is genuinely one of the most helpful videos I have seen in quite a long time. Thank you so much.
Thank you!! This is by far the best explanation I came across. I understood moderator but not mediator and you made that concept click finally!
Thank you so much for this. After hours of googling, reading, and watching numerous explanations about the topics, I can now have a break because of your video. Very much appreciated :)
You get so many emails on this because so many people are bad at explaining it. This is the best explanation I’ve seen. Bravo.
Thank you for the very simple explanation! The other definitions I found were confusing but yours is simpler and more direct to the point.
Now I can finally get a clear idea of the difference between the two. And perfect examples!!! Thank you so much!!!
This is excellent explanation of Moderator and Mediating variable MR. James Gaskin.
years staying in academia, had to keep visiting these two concepts since always get confused, now finally get it n think won't get confused anymore. thank you James!!!
I had to read an article about the differnce and it made no sense because it didn't include context. Thanks for the examples, really all I needed!
I finally understood. This video is way simpler than my lecture slides. Thank you!
This helped me so much, THANKS to you I can finally wrap my hand around this and get cracking . I was all over the place constantly switching variables, so lost. This video clarified everything!

Your videos helped me so much when I was a PhD student. I am now a lecturer and I still come here to refresh on stats. Thanks so much for these videos it’s so appreciated.
It is really really illuminative. Thank you so much
Thx for your clear explanation
This video solved my puzzle
I had a problem actually keeping the words themselves straight.
I think because for me they kind of bring up a third thing in relation to two things, especially in reference to people.
(A moderator in a meeting, A mediator in a debate)
So what I'm going to associate it with is "moderation" as in the saying "everything in moderation."
What is this everything? It's a situation that tips the scale in a certain direction. The context. The condition. When and when not? When one drinks too much. When one exercises too much. or Whom. A person who is too restrictive in their diet.
The best description that I have found. Thanks
Hi, James! Thanks a lot for more this useful video for structural equation modeling classes. Take care!
This was so straight forward and really cleared things up for me! Thanks!
Wonderfully Explained!!
This was extremely helpful. Thank you!
excelent explanation of difference . thanks
good explanation, thank you James
James❤ Well explained I got my answers 👏🙌👌
In this day and age gender could probably be a mediator variable (not saying I agree nor disagree with that!). Clear video, thanks James.
Fantastic video! Thanks for the explanation
thanks for simply the concept and made it fun
This guy saved my life. Thanks.
Dear Professor Gaskin, I have been learning about your videos since a few years ago, and they are all beneficial! Lately, I came across a mediation model (simple mediation model, model 4).

Is this common in mediation and what will be the implications if I have an opposite direct effect sign (nonsignificant)? I would greatly appreciate your reply.
To summarise my results: significant Indirect effect, negative sign (B= -.17), Significant total effect, negative sign (B= -.12), and nonsignificant direct effect, positive sign (B=.05)., other path coefficients; significant path a - emotional intelligence (IV) -> resilience (MV) (B=.47), significant path b - resilience (MV) -> perceived stress (DV), (B= -.32)
Since the direct effect is not significant, its sign does not matter. You only have a significant negative indirect effect.
Thanks James! This was very helpful.
Very nice way of teaching
Thank you!!! Super clear explanation I LOVE IT 😍
Waaauw! Thank you so much for clearing this out! 👍👍👍🥳
Clarified it! Thank you so much!
Great video, I'm sending it to my graduate students!

Makes total sense this way
Thank you for your illustration, simple and effective.
Great explanations!
Amazing explanation!
Thank you James.
This is insightful.
Thank you for the clear explanation!
this was SO helpful. Thank you so much.
Straight to the point! Thanks :)
Variabel Mediasi/ Mediator (z) harus memiliki hubungan dengan IV (x) untuk bisa mempengaruhi DV (y) ..
Sedangkan variabel moderator/intervening harus Tidak memiliki hubungan dengan variabe independen (x)..
Ya itu benar
@@Gaskination matur suwon Mr. James 👍👍
Thanks this has been so helpful. It was simply explained clearly.
