Generalized structured component analysis (GSCA) and partial least squares path modeling (PLSPM) are statistical methods for component-based structural equation modeling, where constructs are repre sented as components or weighted sums of observed variables. While both methods employ different approaches to testing an interaction effect between components, their comparative performance in this context has not been systematically investigated. To address this gap, we conducted a simulation study to evaluate their relative performance across various experimental conditions. The results indi cate that GSCA’s approach consistently outperforms PLSPM’s in testing a component interaction effect under all examined conditions.
