Multiple mediation on the relationship between TV in the bedroom and percent body fat through mediators. M represents the mediators, c represents the total effect of the TV in the bedroom (IV) on the % body fat (DV) and c’ represents the direct effect of the IV on the DV in the presence of mediators and covariates (not shown). a paths represent the specific indirect effect of the IV on each mediator, and b paths represent the specific indirect effect of each mediator on the DV; together, each ab pair represents the specific indirect effect of the IV on the DV through the mediator. The total indirect effect (∑ab) is the sum of all ab pairs. *Adapted from Preacher and Hayes [35]
