תקציר	Bayesian moderated mediation estimates how a mediator transmits the effect of a predictor onto an outcome, and whether that indirect effect varies in size depending on a moderator variable — all within a Bayesian framework that quantifies uncertainty via posterior distributions rather than p-values and confidence intervals.	Bayesian moderation analysis tests whether the relationship between a predictor and an outcome changes depending on the value of a third variable (the moderator). By placing prior distributions on all model parameters and updating them with observed data, it yields full posterior distributions for the interaction effect — enabling direct probability statements about the moderation rather than binary significance decisions.
