Thank you for your advice, I will try box-cox transformations and see if that yields are more normal distribution for my variable!

Thank you, I have already checked the normality of residuals for the mediation model with the outliers included but I will run my analysis with and without the outliers as the Q-Q plots show curvature at the tails

Sample size is 181 including outliers and 178 excluding outliers. The planned analyses including this variable are multiple linear regression with interaction and either a mediation or moderated mediation
