Thank you Prof. Fawad for this scholarly presentation. Please, can you do a video for categorical variables with more than two categories under moderation. Thank you
Thanks for another great tutorial. May I ask if the moderating variable can be of three or more categories and not dichotomous? Is SmartPLS able to analyse simultaneously 7 IV and 1 DV moderated by 5 moderators which are dichotomous as well as more than two categories (3-5 categories)? Thanks in advance.
I am glad you liked it. Yes Smart PLS is able to analyse all 9f 8t in a model. A moderator may have more than 2 categories but then you will need to create dummy variables.
thank you prof for the tutorial. however, I'm not sure if my version of smartpls4 does not have the option for "Report" thus I unable to locate the fsquare
@@researchwithfawad Thank you prof, another question. I want to analyze if Perceived organizational support moderates my 3 other IV. I am not sure how to plot as my moderator is not categorical. I am lost at the 0 and 1 value in the dawson template. Can you enlighten me?
Hello sir, your teaching method is so easy to understand, I have one question regarding moderating analysis. How to do moderation analysis with 5 point likert scale questions. can you explain that...
@@researchwithfawad thank you Prof.! Another question, don’t we need to calculate f-square when only one independent variable is involved with a mediator. Tried to find an article saying not to.
Hi Prof. Fawad, Thank you for your detailed explanation. However, I have a question that how we can conduct moderation analysis for categorical variable that has more than 2 levels? And also, I think the link for the excel file for plotting is malfunction, it would be grate that you can upload a usable link again. Thank you.
Pleasure. The process remains the same. You will need to create dummy variables and add the dummy variables. Do not add all, leave one out as a reference category.
Dr.Fawad, for testing categorical moderators, can you kindly explain when we should use this method and when we should use MGA? I would also be very grateful if you could recommend some papers which I can read on this subject. Thank you.
@@researchwithfawad Is there any paper from which I can get this information, Dr? I would like to cite it in my report. I really hope that you can help me here. Thanks in advance.
Good evening sir. Thank you for this great tutorial. Sir my model has categorical variable with 4 categories and i am not able to run it. Please help me out. Thank you in advance
One more thing sir i have only one predictor variable. That means I have one predictor and one dependent variable and the moderator variable has 4 categories.
@@researchwithfawad Thank you very much for the tutorial videos about SmartPLS 4, very helpful! I have the same questions: I have a categorical moderator with 4 different groups (1. younger than 30 years old, 2. between 30-39, 3. between 40-49, 4. more than 50 years old). Can I use the interaction effect as you demonstrated in the video (code the groups into 0,1,2,3)? Or should I go to use the PLS-Multigroup analysis (MGA)? Thank you in advance for your help!
@ faawad sir do u have created dummy variables for type of banks in spss first then u did analysis in smartpls for type of banks Sir i have 3 iv, s and 3 dv, s and my moderator is gender should I also create dummy variables for gender first then go for further analysis Also should i perform multi group analysis tooo
Yes, the dummy variables were created in SPSS. No need to create dummy for dichotomous variables. Multigroup analysis is only required if you want to assess differences in each group for the relationships in the study.
@@researchwithfawad Jazak Allah khair. And please also help me understand when should multigroup analysis and moderation analysis be applied. I have one dependent variable (social networking site use) and two independent variables (online bonding and online bridging social capital). I want to check if the type of platform (linkedin or facebook) affects the relationship. between sns use and the two capital.
Create dummy variables and perform moderation analysis as in the video. Any categorical variable on nominal scale must be changed into dummy variables.
Thanks for watching. In that case if the categorical moderator is nominal, you will need to create dummy variables and add all except one which is the reference category into the model as moderators.
Why use metric, if it is categorical shouldn't we use change it to categorical? When I use categorical for example in gender it will not run the bootstrapping or PLS SEM. Thank you
How about if I use 3 categories of social status, should I import it as categorical or metric? and can I use it during during analysis? I always get an error if I do it on categorical data. Thank you for answering, Salam@@researchwithfawad
@@researchwithfawad yeah, it is categorical with three categories. The variables are experience consisting of three categories: < 1 year, 1 -2 years, and > 2 years.
@@researchwithfawad I have 9 independent variables and 2 dependent variables (one is a mediation variable). When I give them moderation variables, a singularity occurs when bootstrapping.
Great toturial. Thank you very much. I hope you keep making this awesome videos 🙏🏼💐
Thanks. I wish to continue. The more you like, comment, and share, the more i am encouraged to make new videos.
Awesome explanation
Glad you liked it

Sure. Hopefully soon.
Great video. Thank you for sharing. Could you make one with moderate and mediate?

Dear Prof.,
May I know, if the f2 effect size is needed when the moderator is continuous?
Yes use f-sq
@@researchwithfawad thank you Prof.!
Another question, don’t we need to calculate f-square when only one independent variable is involved with a mediator.
Tried to find an article saying not to.

Please use MGA if the categorical variable is affecting all the relationships. Otherwise, use categorical variable as moderator through interaction.

Sir i have 3 iv, s and 3 dv, s and my moderator is gender should I also create dummy variables for gender first then go for further analysis
Also should i perform multi group analysis tooo
Yes, the dummy variables were created in SPSS. No need to create dummy for dichotomous variables. Multigroup analysis is only required if you want to assess differences in each group for the relationships in the study.
Do we need to use 0 and 1 for the two types of banks? What if they are 1 and 2?
No, you can keep 1 and 2

Use multigroup if all relationships are moderated by a categorical variable, if not all, use moderation.
Hello Sir
In my study I have used age, gender and work experience as a moderator and all are grouped into three then how can I do moderation analysis
Create dummy variables and perform moderation analysis as in the video. Any categorical variable on nominal scale must be changed into dummy variables.
hi sir, could you please show steps in making dummy variable for Gender in SPSS and implementing in SEMPLS? i use gender as the moderating variable
You may watch this video for creating dummy variables in SPSS
th-cam.com/video/zaOFXnXC8Y0/w-d-xo.html
sir if i take demographics as moderating variable then do we need to aseess their R and V?/
Demographic variables are not trst for reliability and validity.
Sir i have age and experience variables in my study as moderators are they categorical variables
If you have categorised them, then they are.
How about when the categorical variable is polytomous?
Thanks for watching. In that case if the categorical moderator is nominal, you will need to create dummy variables and add all except one which is the reference category into the model as moderators.
Thank you. Very helpful video.@@researchwithfawad
Why use metric, if it is categorical shouldn't we use change it to categorical? When I use categorical for example in gender it will not run the bootstrapping or PLS SEM. Thank you
The number in gender represent male and female. Gender is on nominal scale.
How about if I use 3 categories of social status, should I import it as categorical or metric? and can I use it during during analysis? I always get an error if I do it on categorical data. Thank you for answering, Salam@@researchwithfawad
why my variabel moderator have singularity problem sir ?
Is it categorical
@@researchwithfawad yeah, it is categorical with three categories. The variables are experience consisting of three categories: < 1 year, 1 -2 years, and > 2 years.
Did you create dummy variables. If so no need as itnis ordinal and can be added directly into the model.
@@researchwithfawad yeah i am created 3 dummy variables like on your dif video. but all of them being singularity problems
@@researchwithfawad I have 9 independent variables and 2 dependent variables (one is a mediation variable). When I give them moderation variables, a singularity occurs when bootstrapping.
