Explain the difference between mediating (or intervening) versus moderating effects by using a specific example for each. Illustrate your answer with two conceptual frameworks (showing boxes that are connected with arrows) that visualize how the different constructs are connected with one another in the two examples. The frameworks and constructs must be DIFFERENT from the ones that are included in the course slides (Chapter 5).

You must explain the nature of the relationships between the constructs in the context of your examples (e.g., why are the relationships positive, negative, stronger, weaker, etc.?)

a) Mediating effect:

In addition to showing the conceptual framework, provide at least three sentences of explanation.

b) Moderating effect:

In addition to showing the conceptual framework, provide at least three sentences of explanation.
