Mediation analysis is a statistical tool used to study how the effect of an independent variable on an ending is transmitted through a mediator. A moderator is a variable that transform the sign or strength of the effect of an independent variable on a dependent variable. To test single mediator model Structural Equation Modeling is used and also to estimate the rapport between multiple mediator, outcome and the moderator. This article gives an idea of meditation and the review is based on the book of statistical mediation and authors perceptive. This study proposes that Structural Equation Modeling has widespread to single mediator as well as multiple mediator models.
