Moderator analyses in OSMASEM

Dear Mike & colleagues,
I conducted moderator analyses with OSMASEM with several moderators. When I performed OSMASEM with these moderators simultaneously and separately, it showed different estimates for moderators. Which one should be preferred?

I attached R-code and data.

Thanks for your time and patience.

Dear Dabiriyan,

This is similar to the case in multiple regression. The results are likely to be different when testing all predictors or one predictor at a time. In your case, only Individualism is statistically significant. You may focus on it.

Best,
Mike
