Table 7.

Average ratio of left-to-right misses of confidence intervals methods for simple indirect effects.

	Population I		Population II		Population III
	Group1^a	Group2^a	Group1^b	Group2^a	Group1^b	Group2^a
$P C_{i n d}^{S}$	0.627	0.486	1.674	0.606	1.674	0.494
$B C_{i n d}^{S}$	0.969	0.791	1.467	0.770	1.476	0.790
$P C_{i n d}^{M}$	0.613	0.474	1.670	0.493	1.644	0.491
$B C_{i n d}^{M}$	1.025	0.851	1.491	0.660	1.486	0.886
$M C_{i n d}^{M}$	0.604	0.506	1.626	0.488	1.638	0.499

The superscripts “S” and “M” indicate the single-group and multi-group approaches, respectively. PC, percentile bootstrap; BC, bias-corrected bootstrap; MC, Monte Carlo method. See Table 1 for description of each method.

The simple indirect effect was positive in population.

The simple indirect effect was zero in population.
