Abstract

The bias-corrected bootstrap confidence interval for indirect effects has been found to have inflated type I error rates in complete datasets. This simulation study reveals even worse inflation when this method is combined with multiple imputation for missing data, suggesting that its use with missing mediation data should be stopped.
