8.4 What to look for in each type of analysis

  • ANOVA - look at the \(p\)-value, \(r\)-squared, means, and the graph of the ANOVA and compare to those values in the Moderation (i.e., each level of third variable) output to determine if third variable is moderator or not.
  • Chi-Square - look at the \(p\)-value, the percents for the columns in the crosstab table, and the graph for the Chi-Square and compare to those values in the Moderation (i.e., each level of third variable) output to determine if third variable is a moderator or not.
  • Correlation and Linear Regression - look at the correlation coefficient (\(r\)), \(p\)-value, regression coefficients, \(r\)-squared, and the scatterplot. Compare to those values in the Moderation (i.e., each level of third variable) output to determine if third variable is a moderator or not.
