Thus, the causal variable should be controlled in determining the effect of the mediator on the outcome (path b and c’ in Figure 1), and (IV) Complete mediation is present when the effect of the predictor on the criterion decreases to zero with the inclusion of the mediator. When the effect of the predictor on the criterion decreases, but is not equal to zero, partial mediation had occurred [37]. The paths (c, a, b, and c’) were estimated by using linear regression. After the establishment of…

Similar results reported in a study by Liang (2012), Lin and Chen (2006) and Park and Moon (2003) investigating the link between consumer involvement and knowledge. For instance, Liang (2012) found a positive significant relationship between consumer involvement and knowledge with regard to tea beverages (β=0.280,p=0.01) which strongly supported the research hyphotheses, H3. The collaborative affiliation among product knowledge and product involvement has been confirmed in another study by…

infection control team. The dependent variable was sternal wound infection and mediastinitis endocarditis. However, in another study, male sex is one of the “predictors of sternal and mediastinal infection in cardiac surgical patients” (Hussain, et al., 2012, p. 70). According to Hussain, et al., (2012), “the reason for male sex as an independent predictor is unclear. It may be that males tend to have increased tension on their sternal incision, which in turn leads to increased risk of sternal…
