Σύνοψη	Moderated mediation tests whether the indirect effect of an independent variable on an outcome — transmitted through a mediator — differs in strength depending on the level of a moderator variable. It answers the question: for whom, or under what conditions, does the mediated pathway operate most strongly?	Moderation analysis tests whether the effect of a predictor X on an outcome Y changes with the level of a third variable W, the moderator. It is estimated within a regression framework through an interaction term X×W, popularised by Aiken & West (1991) and Hayes's PROCESS macro (2018).
