Abstract
Simple mediation, also called direct and indirect effect analysis, is used to analyze the effects of a mediator variable on the relationship between an independent variable and a dependent or explained variable. The PROCESS macro is an interface applied to SPSS to make mediation a simple, rapid statistical procedure. The main purpose of this study is to explain in clear and simple terms how to do this with the PROCESS macro for SPSS, so that any researcher can start to work with mediation analysis, whose use is widely extended in the social sciences. The results clearly reveal an indirect effect on the satisfaction with online education as displayed in the attitudes towards this. PROCESS allows users to apply mediation models quickly and easily and test different hypotheses once the data have been collected.
