Moderated mediation

Statistical phenomenon

In statistics, moderation and mediation can occur together in the same model. Moderated mediation, also known as conditional indirect effects, occurs when the treatment effect of an independent variable A on an outcome variable C via a mediator variable B differs depending on levels of a moderator variable D. Specifically, either the effect of A on B, and/or the effect of B on C depends on the level of D.
