Module 1 – Case
Distinguishing Moderation from Mediation Conceptually
Case Assignment

After reading all of the required background readings, prepare a paper in which you:

Analyze issues related to effectively introducing mediating and moderating variables into theoretical models, hypotheses, and research designs.

Assignment Expectations

In your analysis, please:

Draw upon the Wu and Zumbo (2008) article to:
Distinguish mediation from moderation conceptually—what’s the difference?
Discuss research design issues related to testing for mediation vs. testing for moderation (remember, design happens before any data are collected—so the focus here is not on analysis, but rather on how to structure the research project effectively from the beginning)
Next, apply key points from the Wu and Zumbo article to your brief analysis of the ways in which the authors of the other three required readings (i.e., Jordon, et al. (2002), DeJong & Elfring (2010), and Hekman, et al. (2010):
Introduce mediating and/or moderating variables into their theoretical models, hypotheses, and research designs.
Reflect any of the research design issues that Wu and Zumbo identify.
Briefly summarize what you have learned from this exercise
Overall, your analysis should demonstrate your:
Accurate comprehension and application of the required readings.
Ability to analyze the nature of moderating and mediating variables in the specific theoretical models provided.
