Hello everyone,

I have to use PLS-SEM to analyze the data for my master thesis, but I am experiencing some problems. First of all, I have two conditions that I
want to compare. When I drew my conceptual model in Warp, it showed that there was a significant relationship between the variable condition and the variable presence.However, because I have two conditions I didn't know which condition of the two was significant.

That is why I decided to do two separate analyses, one for each condition. By doing this, I wasn't able to choose the latent variable ‘condition' anymore to include in my conceptual model (I think because all values were the same, because I only included people that were in this condition). So then I drew my statistical model without the condition variable but the problem with that is that I want to compare different methodologies to measure one of 
my variables (information processing). I want to know if people have applied a heuristic or systematic processing mode after the experiment, 
and I measured this using a thought listing technique, with self-reported measures and with Mousetracker software. What I want to investigate is if people in condition 1 engaged more in heuristic processing than people in condition 2, and if people in condition 2 engaged more in systematic processing.

What seems to be the problem for me is that I cannot include the Mousetracker data as an indicator in both the systematic and heuristic 
processing variable, so I do not know how I can find out if the MouseTracker data significantly correlates with the thought listing 
technique and/or with the self-reported measures.

Hopefully someone will be able to help me, and if you need more information please do not hesitate to ask.

Best regards,
Lonneke

Did you use a dummy variable, as in the post linked below?

Dear Mr. Kock,

I did but can I see anywhere which group or condition in my case is responsible for the significant effect?

Best regards,

The interpretation should be based on the values assigned (e.g., 0 and 1) and the path coefficients involving the variable.
