自从上次整理了一篇《中介效应和调节效应分析方法论文献(中文)》后，收到了一些反馈。一位潜心研究中介效应和调节效应分析方法论的国内学者给我留言说我少列举了两篇，现在补上，分别是：第一，《中介效应的检验方法和效果量测验：回顾与展望》(载于《心理发展与教育》2012年第28卷第1期)；第二，《基于不对称区间估计的有调节的中介效应模型检验》(载于《心理科学进展》，2014年第22卷第10期)。相较于国外而言，国内关于中介效应和调节效应分析的研究可能相对有些晚，国外在该领域的发展很久并且有很多经典的文献。我初步收集了有关中介效应和调节效应分析的英文方法论文献，共计51篇。我按照国内期刊参考文献的列法顺序依次列举出来，最早的和最近的文献横跨了几十年。

       其次，我觉得我们在做中介效应和调节效应分析时一定要明确我们为什么要这样做，明确之后才应该是怎样做，怎样做的时候要分析做的是否科学。自从温忠麟教授团队于2004年开始大量发表中介效应和调节效应分析的文献后，很多来自各个领域和学科的学者都在引用这些方法论文献然后开始做自己的研究。这些研究在国内基本上所有自然科学和社会科学杂志上都能看见，但是这些研究中也存在一些用法失当甚至是错误的个例。温忠麟教授曾说过，在做完中介效应和调节效应分析后要向读者列出表示中介效应的量，具体可参见相关文献。究竟是部分中介效应呢还是完全中介效应呢？经常能够看到一些学者直接就是检验了三个方程的系数是否显著然后列了三线表就结束了，其实我个人觉得这不全面。在这里，我推荐大家看一篇文章《自尊在人格特质、社会支持和主观幸福感间的中介效应》(载于《应用心理学》，2009年第15期第2卷)。之所以推荐这篇文献，是因为作者在分析完中介效应之后很详细地列出了中介效应量的大小、计算方式等等，业内人士可以参照一下。还有一点需要指出的是，我们在分析中介效应和调节效应时要知道这需要一些前提条件。这些条件由国外学者提出，国内学者完善了。具体可以看Kashdam和Breen的《Materialismand diminished well-being：Experimentialavoidance as a mediating mechanism》(载于Journal of Social and Clinical Psychology，2007年第26卷第5期)和西南大学心理学部郑涌教授指导的硕士学位论文《控制感在物质主义和幸福感关系中的中介效应研究》(作者是王凌飞，2012年)。在这两篇文章中，学者们一致认为中介效应和调节效应分析的前提条件分别是：(1)预测变量必须与因变量相关；(2)预测变量要与潜在的中介变量相关；(3)潜在的中介变量要与因变量相关；(4)当潜在的中介变量被控制后，预测变量和因变量之间的相关消失或显著减弱。这四个前提条件很详细，业内人士在做中介效应和调节效应分析时可以自我对照进行检查。

       另外，在书籍方面，国外有关中介效应和调节效应分析的书籍很多，我列举了两本比较经典的。国内有关中介效应和调节效应分析专门的书籍目前好像只有温忠麟，刘红云和侯杰泰于2012年出版的那本《调节效应和中介效应分析(Analyses of Moderatingand Mediating Effects)》。这本书是社会科学研究方法丛书中的一本，这套丛书特别好，每本都有一个侧重点。当然，想要完全掌握《调节效应和中介效应分析》这本书的内涵，必须还要先阅读由侯杰泰，温忠麟和成子娟于2004年著的那本《结构方程模型及其应用(Structural Equation Modeland Its Applications)》一书，因为两本书里面都涉及到了用LISREL软件编写程序语句的内容。

      最后，我列举的文献肯定是不全的，希望业内人士能够批评指正。
