Solved – Inconsistent mediation in the mediation model

mediationmultiple regressionmultivariate analysispath-modelstructural-equation-modeling

The direct effect of WE is 0.758; while the indirect effect is -.19; that leads to total effect of .46…..I need to know as inconsistent mediation means opposite signs between direct and indirect effect but both effects do not cancel out. So, can i say there exist no suppression.

Mediation is not a dichotomy - that is, it isn't "present" or "not present". Rather, it is a continuum from "none at all" to "a lot".

In your case, there is considerable mediation. The mediation reduces the effect by more than 1/4.
