− | 其中 e []表示期望取代了错误项。
| + | An experimental-causal-chain design is used when the proposed mediator is experimentally manipulated. Such a design implies that one manipulates some controlled third variable that they have reason to believe could be the underlying mechanism of a given relationship. |

− | 这些影响有以下解释:
| + | A measurement-of-mediation design can be conceptualized as a statistical approach. Such a design implies that one measures the proposed intervening variable and then uses statistical analyses to establish mediation. This approach does not involve manipulation of the hypothesized mediating variable, but only involves measurement.<ref>{{cite journal|pmid=16393019|url=http://www2.psych.ubc.ca/~schaller/528Readings/SpencerZannaFong2005.pdf|year=2005|last1=Spencer|first1=S.
