However, the presence of these covariates can induce spurious effects when either (1) the covariate (C) is correlated with one of the primary variables of interest (e.g. variable A or B), or (2) when the covariate itself is a moderator of the correlation between either A or B with Y.
Simple mediation model. The independent variable causes the mediator variable; the mediator variable causes the dependent variable. In statistics, a mediation model seeks to identify and explain the mechanism or process that underlies an observed relationship between an independent variable and a dependent variable via the inclusion of a third hypothetical variable, known as a mediator ...
Graphical model: Whereas a mediator is a factor in the causal chain (top), a confounder is a spurious factor incorrectly implying causation (bottom). In statistics, a spurious relationship or spurious correlation [1] [2] is a mathematical relationship in which two or more events or variables are associated but not causally related, due to either coincidence or the presence of a certain third ...
Comparison of mediator and confounder in causality by CMG Lee. Whereas a mediator is a factor the causal chain (1), a confounder is a spurious factor incorrectly implying causation. Width

Moderated mediation, also known as conditional indirect effects, [2] 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.
gegeben. Für den Moderator empfiehlt es sich deshalb dringend, im Vorfeld einer Moderation einen vor Ort Termin durchzuführen und stets einen eigenen Moderationskoffer mit sich zu führen. c. Abgrenzungen anderer Methoden zur Moderation Es gibt eine Vielzahl an Arbeitsformen in Gruppen, die in einzelnen Punkten der Moderation ähneln, aber
In causal inference, a confounder [a] is a variable that influences both the dependent variable and independent variable, causing a spurious association. Confounding is a causal concept, and as such, cannot be described in terms of correlations or associations.
