Simple Question, Not So Simple Answer: Interpreting Interaction Terms in Moderated Multiple Regression
探讨了在调节多重回归分析中如何正确解释交互项,指出基于理论先验假设时,显著的整体F值并非解释显著交互项的前提条件。
The appropriate interpretation of interaction terms in studies employing moderated multiple regression ( MMR) analysis is considered. It is argued that given a theory-based, a priori hypothesis, an MMR analysis is analogous to a planned statistical comparison and, thus, a significant overall F value is not a prerequisite for interpreting a significant interaction term.
