Will cover the basics of interaction analysis, highlighting multiple regression based strategies
Overview
Will discuss advanced issues and complications in interaction analysis. This treatment will be somewhat superficial but hopefully informative
![Page 3: Analysis of Interaction Effects](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56813329550346895d9a1857/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Conceptual Foundations of Interaction Analysis
![Page 4: Analysis of Interaction Effects](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56813329550346895d9a1857/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Causal Theories
Most (but not all) theories rely heavily on the concept of causality, i.e., we seek to identify the determinants of a behavior or mental state and/or the consequences of a behavior or environmental/mental state
I am going to ground interaction analysis in a causal framework
![Page 5: Analysis of Interaction Effects](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56813329550346895d9a1857/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Causal Theories
Causal theories can be complicated, but at their core, there are five types of causal relationships in causal theories
Direct Causal Relationships
A direct causal relationship is when a variable, X, has a direct causal influence on another variable, Y:
X Y

Indirect Causal Relationships
Indirect Causal Relationships
An indirect causal relationship is when a variable, X, has a causal influence on another variable, Y, through an intermediary variable, M:
M YX

Spurious Relationship
Spurious Relationship
A spurious relationship is one where two variables that are not causally related share a common cause:
C
YX
![Page 11: Analysis of Interaction Effects](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56813329550346895d9a1857/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Bidirectional Causal Relationships
Bidirectional Causal Relationships
A bidirectional causal relationship is when a variable, X, has a causal influence on another variable, Y, and that effect, Y, has a “simultaneous” impact on X:
YX
![Page 12: Analysis of Interaction Effects](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56813329550346895d9a1857/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Moderated Causal Relationships
Moderated Causal Relationships
A moderated causal relationship is when the impact of a variable, X, on another variable, Y, differs depending on the value of a third variable, Z
Z
YX

Moderated Causal Relationships
The variable that “moderates” the relationship is called a moderator variable.
Z
YX
![Page 17: Analysis of Interaction Effects](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56813329550346895d9a1857/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Causal Theories
We put all these ideas together to build complex theories of phenomena. Here is one example:
Quality ofRelationshipwith Mother
AdolescentDrug Use
AdolescentSchool Work
Ethic

Gender
![Page 18: Analysis of Interaction Effects](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56813329550346895d9a1857/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Interaction Analysis
Interactions, when translated into causal analysis, focus on moderated relationships
When I encounter an interaction effect, I think:
Z
YX
![Page 19: Analysis of Interaction Effects](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56813329550346895d9a1857/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Key step in interaction analysis is to identify the focal independent variable and the moderator variable.
Sometimes it is obvious – such as with the analysis of a treatment for depression on depression as moderated by gender
Interaction Analysis
Gender
DepressionTreat vs Control
![Page 20: Analysis of Interaction Effects](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56813329550346895d9a1857/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Sometimes it is not obvious – such as an analysis of the effects of gender and ethnicity on the amount of time an adolescent spends with his or her mother
Interaction Analysis
Statistically, it matters not which variables take on which role. Conceptually, it does.
Gender
Time SpentEthnicity

Omnibus tests – I do not use these
Some Common Practices
Hierarchical regression – I use sparingly
Focus on unstandardized coefficients - we tend to stay away from standardized coefficients in interaction analysis because they can be misleading and they do not have “clean” mathematical properties
![Page 26: Analysis of Interaction Effects](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56813329550346895d9a1857/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Y = a + b1 X + e
A “Trick” We Will Use: Linear Transformations
Satisfaction = a + b1 Grade + e
Satisfaction = 12 + -.50 Grade + e
![Page 27: Analysis of Interaction Effects](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56813329550346895d9a1857/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Y = a + b1 X + e
A “Trick” We Will Use: Linear Transformations
Satisfaction = a + b1 Grade + e
Satisfaction = 12 + -.50 Grade + e
Satisfaction = 9 + -.50 (Grade – 6) + e
![Page 28: Analysis of Interaction Effects](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56813329550346895d9a1857/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Y = a + b1 X + e
A “Trick” We Will Use: Linear Transformations
Satisfaction = a + b1 Grade + e
Satisfaction = 12 + -.50 Grade + e
Satisfaction = 9 + -.50 (Grade – 6) + e
“Mean centering” is when we subtract the mean
![Page 29: Analysis of Interaction Effects](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56813329550346895d9a1857/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

Common Analysis Form: Median Split
Many researchers not sure how to analyze this, so use median split for continuous moderator variable and conduct ANOVA
Why this is bad practice….

Mixture Regression
But, in reality, we probably are mixing heterogeneous population segments with different coefficients characterizing the segments
When we regress Y onto a set of predictors, we assume that people are drawn from a single population with common linear coefficients
![Page 86: Analysis of Interaction Effects](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56813329550346895d9a1857/html5/thumbnails/86.jpg)
With “mixed” populations, the overall regression analysis can characterize neither segment very well and lead to sub-optimal inferences and intervention strategies

Interaction Analysis and Establishing Generalizability
![Page 91: Analysis of Interaction Effects](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56813329550346895d9a1857/html5/thumbnails/91.jpg)
It is common for people to conclude that an effect “generalizes” in the absence of a statistically significant interaction effect
Problem is that we can never accept the null hypothesis of a zero interaction contrast
Generalizability
Example with RCT of obesity treatment and gender
Solution: Adopt the framework of equivalence testing
![Page 92: Analysis of Interaction Effects](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56813329550346895d9a1857/html5/thumbnails/92.jpg)
Step 1: Specify a threshold value that will be used to define functional equivalence
Step 2: Specify the range of functional equivalence
Generalizability
Step 3: Calculate the 95% CI for the interaction contrast
Step 4: Determine if the CI is completely within the range of functional equivalence

It is well known that measurement error can bias parameter estimates in multiple regression. This holds with vigor for interaction analysis
One approach to dealing with measurement error in general is to use latent variable modeling

There are a about a half a dozen approaches to how best to model latent variable interactions (e.g., quasi-maximum likelihood; Bayesian). I recommend the approach developed by Herbert Marsh as a good balance between utility and complexity, coupled with Huber-White sandwich estimators for robustness
