2.3. Connecting the Dots: Mastering Variables and Research Models

In this topic, I’ll guide you through the intricacies of research models and variables, offering a comprehensive understanding of their roles in the research process. We’ll explore the key types of variables, including independent, dependent, mediator, moderator, and control variables, and discuss how they shape research models. You’ll gain insights from real-world examples in published papers, revealing how these variables work together in practice, whether as mediators clarifying the “how” and “why” of relationships, or as moderators uncovering conditions influencing these relationships. By the end of this topic, you’ll be well-equipped to construct, interpret, and leverage research models effectively, providing you with valuable tools for your research journey.
