תקציר	Robust moderated mediation tests whether the indirect effect of X on Y through a mediator M varies as a function of a moderator W, while using robust estimation (percentile or bias-corrected bootstrap, heteroscedasticity-consistent standard errors, or M-estimation) to protect inference against non-normality, outliers, and heteroscedasticity in the data.	Robust mediation analysis estimates the indirect effect of an independent variable on an outcome through one or more mediators using estimators that resist the influence of outliers and non-normal error distributions. By combining robust regression (such as median or M-estimation) with percentile or bias-corrected bootstrap confidence intervals, it yields trustworthy conclusions when standard ordinary-least-squares mediation would be distorted by extreme observations.
