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 path analysis applies robust estimation — such as sandwich standard errors or M-estimation — to path models that specify directed causal relationships among observed variables. It preserves valid inference about path coefficients and indirect effects when data violate normality, contain outliers, or exhibit heteroscedasticity that would distort conventional standard errors.
