This rejoinder addresses the thoughtful issues raised by the commentators. We hold to the analytical solution of fitting X → M (to obtain a and sa) and X&M→ (to obtain b and sb) via regression or logistic regression, depending on whether M and Y are continuous or categorical. Then researchers compute za, zb, and ZMediation.
