Write a 2- to 3-page critique of the research you found in the Walden Library that includes responses to the
following prompts:
Why did the authors use moderation/mediation in their multiple regression model?
Do you think moderation/mediation is the most appropriate choice? Why or why not?
Did the authors display the results in a figure or table?
Does the results table stand alone? In other words, are you able to interpret the study from it? Why or why not?
Here are the required reading:
