Prof Gaskin, thanks for sharing these tutorial videos. I have a question- if I want to test the interaction of one variable on two different variables, to be specific, I want to test if switching cost moderates the effect of push (latent variable) on switching intention and also if switching moderates the effect of pull (latent variable) on switching intention. To do so, should I check the moderation effect at the same time or one at a time? Your videos have been a life savor!
You can do either. For the strongest p-values, you should test them separately. However, if you can observe significant effects when testing both simultaneously, that would be ideal.
Hi Dr. James, I want to run the moderation in SMART PLS with high and low by splitting data through mediation like AMOS. My moderator has three items. Is it fine? Need your comments. Thank you
@@Gaskination Thank you for your response. I have watched the video but you created a group of one categorical variable by splitting high and low frequency. I have a moderator with three items and I want to measure it with high and low intensity. It would be great if you kindly guide or share a video in this regard. Thank you very much
@@aasafeer84 I guess first you'd need to create a single score. This can be done as a sum or average. Or, if the factor is reflective and works in a factor analysis, you could create a factor score for it (ruclips.net/video/dsOS9tQjxW8/видео.html) and then use the approach in the video I sent. I hope I'm understanding correctly.
@@Gaskination Thank you very much for your response. Yes, I have a reflective factor with 4 indicators but I have to perform analysis in SMART PLS 3, not in AMOS. I watched your video that is based on AMOS. It would be great if you kindly share a similar video for SMARTPLS3. I will be grateful to you. Looking forward to see your guidance. Thank you very much
Professor Gaskin, I currently have SmartPLS 2. Do you know of a way to do 2-way and 3-way simple slopes analysis using the output in SmartPLS 2? I have used the calculators for plots by Jeremy Dawson in the past, but not sure how to use them with SmartPLS 2 output. Any help you can provide would be great.
If SmartPLS 2 provides error estimates, then you can put them right in Jeremy's plotters. I haven't used SmartPLS 2 in a very long time, so I can't remember if it provides error estimates (but I would assume it does).
hi James, if we have more that one moderators to be tested for any particular relationship, do we test for each moderator obe by one? or do we includede all moderators simultaneously in tje model and run the test? pls help me... thank your
I would recommend testing them separately. Interactions effects area already usually small. Including more than one moderator at a time will just further diminish interaction effects.
Hey James, thank you so much for your videos. They have helped me a lot! I was wondering, how do you find out at what level of the moderator (M+1SD or M-1 SD) the moderation is significant. Could I use SPSS, PROCESS for that? Or is there a way to get that information from PLS? Any information on that matter would help me a lot.
SPSS and SmartPLS don't offer that information. I'm not sure if the PROCESS macro does, as I've never used it. It sounds like something it would do though.
Hi James. Can you upload a video on control variables in PLS 3? How to add control variables in path model and how to interpret the results? Many Thnaks.
Controls are just like any other predictor variable. Here is a video that talks about how to treat categorical predictors: ruclips.net/video/L-uynRF8_cg/видео.html (many control variables are often categorical)
Hi, Thanks for this video. Would you please let me know how can I plot slopes for categorical moderation effect in Smart PLS 2? My categorical moderator is gender.
It seems difficult. May be because I never used amos. Can you tell me any options to do this? In PLS, I got just regression weight but not intercept for both gender.

Excellent! I can't believe I found this tutorial. So useful and educational. Thank you. Keep up your good work!
Thank you so much Prof. James. Yes, it really helped me.
is this a high order context causality continuity flow chart mapping?
It's just a simple slopes plot at different levels of the moderator.
@@Gaskination thanks for the response

Respected Professor, Could you please share the link for the excel sheet where we can manually put values and get the slope interaction?
It is available on the homepage of StatWiki.
Hi, Thanks for this video. Would you please let me know how can I plot slopes for categorical moderation effect in Smart PLS 2? My categorical moderator is gender.
Try this: ruclips.net/video/ZnptsnQ2VT4/видео.html Even though it is in amos, the same principle applies.
It seems difficult. May be because I never used amos. Can you tell me any options to do this? In PLS, I got just regression weight but not intercept for both gender.
Just set the intercept to zero then. The slopes will still be the same.
