<font color="#32cd32"> The Mediation Fallacy instead involves conditioning on the mediator if the mediator and the outcome are confounded, as they are in the above model.</font>
对于线性模型,可以通过取中介路径上所有路径系数的乘积来计算间接效应。总间接效应是通过各个间接效应的和计算得出的。对于线性模型,当拟合的不包括中介的方程式的系数与包含中介的方程式的系数显着不同时,<font color="#32cd32"> For linear models mediation is indicated when the coefficients of an equation fitted without including the mediator vary significantly from an equation that includes it</font>
