(Answer) According to the Moderated Mediation Model, the effect of an independent variable could be observed on the dependent variable, based on the moderator that determines the relationship between the independent and dependent variable.

For instance, if an individual is fairly extroverted, they could either be cheerful and happy around people. Also, they could be the kind of people that have gained heuristic experience from the social environments that they have been exposed to.

This would largely depend on certain moderators. The extraverted individual would have the kind of moderator where their priority in social groups is “fun.” Also, another moderator could be where the person seeks to learn from their social setting and not just for fun.

Depending on the moderator or in this case, what the person aims to achieve would be the moderator that affects their emotional expression. A person with the moderator of “fun,” would have an emotional expression where they have become confident and happy around people. On the other hand, a person with more formal aims from extraversion would become more knowledgeable from what they have learnt from their social environment.
