Doing Statistical Mediation and Moderation (Methodology in the Social Sciences Series)

Excellent book. Explained the nuts and bolts of mediation analysis in easy simple terms, so novice statisticians and none statisticians can understand and use this valuable tool in their research. Only issue is that the kindle version is not allowed on the kindle cloud reader. Which is too bad if you need to access it via the kindle cloud reader instead of the kindle app or reader.

Paul Jose has done a great job on explaining statistical mediation and moderation: what they mean and how they are done. He writes in clear, easy-to-understand (for a stats book!) English, with relatively few complicated formulas. As an almost-finished Ph.D student, I really wish he had written this book a couple of years ago because it would have made my analysis so much easier to finish. Even if I were not interested in statistical mediation, the explanations of IV/DV vs. predictor/outcome would have been worth the cost of the book!I highly recommend it.

This is probably the best book I've seen on moderation and mediation with especially strong sections showing how do test for both using regression and other statistical methods. Most books fail to make the mediation and moderator distinction as clear or fail to show how relatively simple it is to test for their presence. In a recent lecture for my doctoral research methods class, I used some info from this book and students found it clear.

Good book for introducing these techniques if you are moderately familiar with multiple regression and the basic ideas of path analysis. Easy to read with good examples and the data sets he uses, so you can play with these approaches yourself.

Best book on moderation and moderation for me - I feel it explained the processes better than Hayes when I was just familiarizing myself with the topic

Prof. Jose did a very good job!Explain the statistical theory of Mediation and Moderation analysis briefly. Give lots of tips and resources for applied researchers.I have read half of the book and recommended it to graduate students or researchers on psychology (BTW, Paul himself is a psychologist) and other social science.

It's a really good book! I strongly recommend to those who are looking to find out an easy way to understand mediation and moderation analyses.

This is a very well-written text. It starts with a basic model using multiple regression and includes more sophisticated SEM methods. I read the entire book and did the exercises. Highly recommended

Excellent book. Gives reference to further relevant texts.clarifies conceptsTalks about practical applications and software help to minimize lengthy calculations
