在这篇文章中，我们试图区分属性的调节变量和中介变量在一些水平。首先，我们试图使理论家和研究人员意识到不使用的重要性，调解人和调解人的术语互换仔细阐述，无论是概念上和战略上，调解人和调解人不同的许多方式。然后，我们超越了这种主要的教学功能，并描绘了利用这种区分的概念和战略意义，关于广泛的现象，包括控制和压力，态度和人格特质。我们还提供了一个分析程序的具体纲要，适合于最有效地利用主持人和调解人的区别，无论是单独的，并在一个更广泛的因果系统，包括主持人和调解人。(46参考）（PsycINFO数据库记录（c）2016阿帕，保留所有权利）
In this article, we attempt to distinguish between the properties of moderator and mediator variables at a number of levels. First, we seek to make theorists and researchers aware of the importance of not using the terms moderator and mediator interchangeably by carefully elaborating, both conceptually and strategically, the many ways in which moderators and mediators differ. We then go beyond this largely pedagogical function and delineate the conceptual and strategic implications of making use of such distinctions with regard to a wide range of phenomena, including control and stress, attitudes, and personality traits. We also provide a specific compendium of analytic procedures appropriate for making the most effective use of the moderator and mediator distinction, both separately and in terms of a broader causal system that includes both moderators and mediators.(46 ref)(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
