why
to understand psychological phenomena,wee need yo examine interaction
learning to visualize data can be taught at first,but once u get it,it makes interpretation easier
easier to read in journal articles
not pararllel
=interaction
ex(parallels)-explenation
no intercation,regadless if ur buying junk food or healhy food the speding diference is the same
Are the midpoints (average)of the two lines different on the DV?
Main effect of B
Are the average values of the DV at each level of the IV on the
X-axis different?
Main effect of A
Are the lines parallel?
No = Interaction (but you should be able to explain why!)
simple main effect
When we have a significant interaction,
we want to examine what is happening
at each level of the IV
The results are analyzed and described
as if we had separate experiments at
each level of the other independent
variable (i.e. the moderator)!
key concepts
The effect of one IV on the DV within a single level of
the second IV (the moderator).
Always report the full set
- (in this case, both because there are two levels of the IV).
-What is the effect of one IV at each level of the other IV?
Decide on one way only to split the data.
Split by IV1
OR
Split by IV2
everytime you have an inetraction you must explain main effect
Does food type moderate
relationship between payment type &
$ spent?
one higher then the other main effect
the center/their avarage is not the same so yes to main effect
