Dear All, I want to test a multilevel/cross-level mediated moderation model (Level 1: IV, DV; and Level 2: Mod, Med). The dataset can be grouped by firm_id and I use mediate{mediation} with lmer class to do it... Can anyone suggest if the following models are specified correctly? I don't know whether a Level 2 variable can be specified in a lmer model...any idea? mod.m <- lmer(Med ~ IV*Mod + (IV | firm_id), data, REML=FALSE) mod.y <- lmer(DV ~ Med*IV*Mod + (IV | firm_id), data, REML=FALSE) Thanks so much for your help!!!
