from Part IV - Experimental Analys is and Presentation
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 08 March 2021
Mediation analysis has been called \harder than it looks" (Bullock and Ha 2011) due to difficulties of experimental identification. However, recent work has clarified that, while hard, some experimental designs for mediation can be informative. Other recent work has provided “easier” substitutes for mediation analysis. This chapter has two goals. First, to summarize some of the findings published since Bullock and Ha (2011) and to consider the implications these findings have for mediation analysis. Second, to consider the situations in which a close alternative to mediation analysis would be useful (either as a supplement or a substitute). Such situations often depend on the motivation for the analysis.
