Abstract:
This study proposes an integrated analysis in evaluating the role of a mediating variable. An integrated method of structural equation modeling and causal steps was employed. The procedure commenced with the conceptual model and hypotheses development, followed by validity and reliability tests using International Business Machines (IBM) Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) Statistics 25. Then confirmatory and regression analyses were carried out using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM)-Analysis of Moment Structures (AMOS), for model modification. Finally, the causal steps method was employed to evaluate the role of the mediating variable.•This method integrates the use of SEM and causal steps•It includes the validation of the model, variables, and constructs•Also, it involves model modification.

Attention is the first necessary component for observational learning. It involves focusing on what the model is doing and saying. For example, if you decide to take a drawing class to enhance your skills, you need to pay close attention to the instructor's words and hand movements. The characteristics of the model significantly...
