With its growing appeal, an increasing number of counseling-related research studies have embraced moderated mediation as a method of inquiry. The purpose of this article is to provide an introduction to some and a refresher to others the concept of moderated mediation and how it can be applied in career development research. We also provide a specific example of how moderated mediation can be tested using the Mplus software program.
