Question 9

Simple slopes analysis looks at the relationship between the predictor and the ______ _____ at low, mean and high levels of the __________.

Answer 9

This analysis looks at the relationship between the predictor and OUTCOME VARIABLE at low, mean and high levels of the MODERATOR.

Question 10

Mediation is when the strength of the relationship between a predictor variable and outcome variable is _________ by …
