E From the menus, choose Analyze > Calculate Estimates to obtain the maximum
likelihood chi-square test of model fit and the parameter estimates.
The results are identical to those shown in Example 6, Model C. The standardized
direct effect of ses on 71_alienation is –0.19. The standardized indirect effect of ses on
71_alienation is defined as the product of two standardized direct effects: the
standardized direct effect of ses on 67_alienation (–0.56) and the standardized direct
effect of 67_alienation on 71_alienation (0.58). The product of these two standardized
direct effects is .
