Scientific experimentation is the best option available for testing. Particularly
because it is theory based and follow a specific ‘method.’
Moderation and Mediation
Help you to recognize flaws in scientific work. Validity is the quality of being
logically or factually sound. The validity of the ‘end product’ is based on how the
theory/research works and what the underlying mechanisms are. This is called
mediation. It also looks at the population for whom the intervention works and
for who it works and for who not. This is called moderation.
Examples for mediation
For mediation to be present, there has
to be a relation between the
independent (not changing, e.g. the
intervention) and dependant
(changing, e.g. depression rate)
variable. There also has to be a
significant relation between the
proposed moderator between the
independent and moderator variable
and between the moderator and dependant variable.
Examples for moderation
A moderator is already present before
the intervention starts (e.g. gender,
expectancy). If you find that the results
only occur in women and not men,
gender is a moderator. Moderation is
statically always presented as an
interaction
