When researchers find an association between two variables, it is useful to evaluate the role of other constructs in this association. While assessing these mediation effects, it is important to determine if results are equal for different groups. It is possible that the strength of a mediation effect may differ for males and females, for example - such an effect is known as moderated mediation. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach - Participants were 2,532 adolescents from diverse ethnic/racial backgrounds and equally distributed across gender. The goal of this study was to investigate parental respect as a potencial mediator of the relationship between gender and delinquency and mental health, and to determine whether oberved mediation is moderated by gender.
