6 Summary of Key Findings

Effect b p Significant?
Format → Efficacy (a path) 0.26 .001 ✅ Yes
Efficacy → Price Fairness (b path) 0.57 <.001 ✅ Yes
Format → Price Fairness (direct) −0.38 <.001 ✅ Yes
Severity → Price Fairness 0.67 <.001 ✅ Yes
Format × Severity on Efficacy −0.14 .38 ❌ No
Format × Severity on Price Fairness 0.08 .66 ❌ No
Indirect effect (a×b) 0.14 ✅ CI [0.05, 0.24]
Index of moderated mediation −0.09 ❌ CI includes 0

Conclusion: Partial mediation is supported. Format influences price fairness both directly and indirectly through efficacy perceptions. Severity does not moderate this indirect pathway.
