In intro grad class, I still (yes) have students read Baron & Kenny(1986)
Make sure all get mediation vs moderation
But it's awfully dated, especially statistically. (Sobels; tested in sep regressions)
Recommendation for new Masters students to read & discuss in class?

Good explanation of odds ratios. As Noah notes, ORs can often be tough to interpret. One way to improve interpretability is to present results in terms of Quantities of Interest such as probabilities (logistic) and counts (poisson/negative binomial) as argued here: psycnet.apa.org/doiLanding?d...

Thinking about odds ratios...
An odds is a ratio of events to non-events. For example, if the event is survival, the odds of survival is the number of survivors per death. If the event is getting a disease, the odds is the number of diseased individuals per healthy individual.
