在过去二十年中,采用调解分析的研究数量呈指数级增长。本研究以研究设计为重点,检视了1996年至2017年间《传播学杂志》、《人类传播研究》、《传播研究》、《新闻与大众传播季刊》和《媒介心理学》上的387篇文章。研究结果表明,虽然大多数研究报告统计上显着的间接影响,他们是不足以作出因果推论。作者还经常推断他们发现了“真正的”中介,而替代模型和中介很少被承认。未来的研究应更多地关注研究设计的作用及其对因果推理的影响。
The number of studies employing mediation analysis has increased exponentially in the past two decades. Focusing on research design, this study examines 387 articles in the Journal of Communication, Human Communication Research, Communication Research, Journalism & Mass Communication Quarterly, and Media Psychology between 1996 and 2017. Findings show that while most studies report statistically significant indirect effects, they are inadequate to make causal inferences. Authors also often infer that they uncovered the “true” mediator(s) while alternative models and mediators are rarely acknowledged. Future studies should pay more attention to the role of research design and its implications for making causal inferences.
