S4E10: Moderation

<p> </p> <p>What can we say about the often used and often confused statistical approach that is moderation? Quite a lot actually. In this episode Jess and Sara introduce the basics of moderation (aka statistical interactions) using absolutely no math (or very nearly absolutely no math). Listen to get a primer on the kinds of questions you can ask with moderation, and to get answers to common moderation questions like: Why is my interaction negative if my main effect is positive? Can I interpret the man effect if the interaction is significant? Why is my interaction significant if my main effect isn’t? And how do I graph the result when I have continuous variables? </p> <p>(see the figure Sara is talking through on our website: http://www.withinandbetweenpod.com/)</p> <p>Connect with the podcast on twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/within_between">@within_between</a>, or email us letters about developmental science at <a href="mailto:withinandbetweenpod@gmail.com">withinandbetweenpod@gmail.com</a>.
