Mediation focuses on the mechanism (mediator) by which one variable affects another. Let’s say previous studies have suggested that higher grades predict higher happiness: X (grades) → Y (happiness). I think, however, grades are not the direct reason that happiness increases. In this case, exploring the process how increase in grades causes the improvement in happiness is the focus. I hypothesize that good grades boost one’s self-esteem and then high self-esteem boosts one’s happiness: X (grades) → M (self-esteem) → Y (happiness). Self-esteem is a mediator that explains the underlying mechanism of the relationship between grades (IV) and happiness (DV).

Hi, I realized that it seems the concept “outcome” is different from the term “output”. Taking the grandparent training project as an example, what is the “outcome’ referable?
