Question

Please help! I am trying to work out which is the mediator.

Absorption and Vigour have a significant effect on each other p<.001 and with the dependent variable, dedication to studies.

So they both have a direct relationship with the dependent variable, but an indirect relationship with each other. 

But as shown in correlations partial, they both drop roughly the same amount. How do I know which is the mediator? Please help or give tips!!
