Table 3 Decomposition of effects from mediation analysis for the effects of temperature on NliceA_std that are direct or mediated through IP, taking into account interaction between T and IP
Effect | Estimate | SE | Interpretation |
|---|---|---|---|
Pure direct effect | 0.007 | 0.060 | The increase in log(NliceA) brought about by a 1 SD increase in T with IP held constant at an average T |
Total direct effect | 0.156 | 0.051** | The increase in log(NliceA) brought about by a 1 SD increase in T with IP held constant at the level resulting from that 1 SD increase in T |
Pure indirect effect | 0.418 | 0.047*** | The increase in log(NliceA) brought about by increasing IP by the amount that would result from a 1 SD increase in T while holding T constant at an average T |
Total indirect effect | 0.567 | 0.073*** | The increase in log(NliceA) brought about by increasing IP by an amount that would result from 1 SD increase in T while holding T constant at the level resulting from that 1 SD increase in T |
% of total effect mediated | 0.784 | Based on a total effect of 0.723 |
