PURPOSE Despite the fact that pain is related to depression, few studies have been conducted to investigate the variables that mediate between the two conditions. In this study, the authors explored the following mediators: cognitive function, self-sacrificing interpersonal problems, and perception of stress, and the effects they had on pain symptoms among patients with depressive disorders. ...

The 26-subunit, 1.2 MDa human Mediator complex is essential for expression of perhaps all protein-coding genes. Activator binding triggers major structural shifts within Mediator, suggesting a straightforward means to spatially and temporally regulate Mediator activity. By using mass spectrometry (MudPIT) and other techniques, we have compared the subunit composition of Mediator in three differ...

Studies that combine moderation and mediation are prevalent in basic and applied psychology research. Typically, these studies are framed in terms of moderated mediation or mediated moderation, both of which involve similar analytical approaches. Unfortunately, these approaches have important shortcomings that conceal the nature of the moderated and the mediated effects under investigation. Thi...

A common design in social psychology involves the use of two independent variables, an experimental manipulation and a measured individual difference, and the interest is in the interaction between them. In such designs, there are often obvious covariate(s), correlated with the measured independent variable, which the researcher wishes to control. Typically this is done by including the covaria...

This paper argues for enhanced consideration of third variables in interactivity research and proposes a “mediated moderation” model to bring increased sophistication to bear on the study of information technology effects. Interactivity, a central phenomenon in new media research, is an elusive concept that has enduringly intrigued and confused scholars. Extant conceptualizations have produced ...

Meta-analysis is a statistical integration method that delivers an opportunity to overview the entire result by integrating and analyzing many quantitative research results. This study will find meaningful mediator variables for criterion variables that affect purchase and repurchase intentions in e-commerce, on the basis of the results of a meta-analysis. We reviewed a total of 114 e-commerce ...

We analyse levels and trends of intergenerational social class mobility among three postwar birth cohorts in Britain examine how much the observed or immobility them could be accounted for by existing differences educational attainment between people from different backgrounds. propose this purpose a method which quantifies associations categorical variables when we compare groups differ only d...

severity of rivalry in markets and importance of customer’s maintenance for organization enforced them to gain toward creation, keeping and promotion the relationship with customers and according to scholars’ findings; relationship marketing is one of the best ways. the conceptual model which is used in this paper, aims to investigate the effects of relationship marketing value dimensions such ...

The aim of this paper is to explore the links among verbal memory, processing speed, negative symptoms, and functional capacity, using structural equation modeling techniques. Model A is a multiple regression model with cognitive and symptom variables as predictors and functional capacity as the latent outcome variable. Model B consists of three two mediator models that assess the ability of ea...
