Mediation (statistics) - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mediation_(statistics)In the diagram shown above, the indirect effect is the product of path coefficients "A" and "B". The direct effect is the coefficient " C' ". The direct effect measures the extent to which the dependent variable changes when the independent variable increases by one unit and the mediator variable remains unaltered. In contrast, the indirect effect measures the extent to which the dep…
Theory and Analysis of Total, Direct, and Indirect Causal Effects

As we show in our illustrative example, traditional methods of mediation analysis that omit confounding variables can lead to systematically biased direct and indirect effects, even in the context of a randomized experiment.

Thus, the independent variable has no direct effect on the dependent variable; rather, its entire effect is indirect. * With partial mediation, an independent variable has both direct and indirect effects on a dependent variable.
