Hey everyone,

I run an insignificant direkt effect of my X and Y variable but I want to test for a mediation effect.
I know this isn't the best way to do normally but my Prof. wants me to do it for a learning effect of mediations.

I use this commands:

sem (Y<-M X) (M<-X), nocapslatent

*1. Strategy
medsem, indep(X) med(M) dep(Y) mcreps(355) rit rid

*2. Strategy
medsem, indep(X) med(M) dep(Y) mcreps(355) rit rid zlc

Now my results shows at "RIT":

RIT = (Indirect effect / Total effect)
(0.000 / 0.000) = 1.977
Meaning that about198 % of the effect of X
on Y is mediated by M!

How can I interpret this result and does it make any sense?

Kind regards
Jana
