How to run Moderation analysis in SPSS using traditional method

[@md.mahiuddinsabbir6125]

Thanks for your tutorial! I have a question here. Shouldn't the IVs be mean-centered before multiplying to form an interaction variable?

[@researchandanalysis1]

I agree with you that mean centering is generally recommended but it is not mandatory.

[@sonalpalande104]

The interaction term was not significant but the impact of independent variable and moderator variable was significant. How do you interpret this result?

[@researchandanalysis1]

It means that the moderation hypothesis has not supported. However If you have hypothesis for the relationship between IV and DV, only that hypothesis is supported.

This really helped.. Thank you

[@mansoorahmed4150]

Thanks for sharing nice video. I have one question, which method is more appropriate and latest in computing moderating variable?

[@researchandanalysis1]

For moderation, it is better to run through Process Macro.

Hi, I am trying to calculate the moderating effect that one independent variable has on the relationship between multiple other independent variables and a dependent variable. Is this possible and how would I do this in SPSS? Thanks,

[@researchandanalysis1]

In SPSS, you will have to run the impact of each IV on DV along wit the moderator one by one. For such complicated models, i would recommend smart PLS.

Thank you very much - this helped me a lot.

My pleasure

My moderating and mediating variable are all ordinal categorical variable, can i use this method to analyse them?

[@justiceackam997]

thank you for the video....please is it possible to use two moderating variables in my analysis? how can i go about it

[@researchandanalysis1]

If you are using Process Macro for running moderation analysis, then you will have to run one by one for each moderator. But there are certain other techniques i.e., PLS-SEM that allow you to two or even more moderator same time. Good luck

@@researchandanalysis1 thank you

[@didikhendra648]

How about if in the coefficient table block 2, the Interaction is significant, but the other independent variables are not significant? How do you interpret this? Does the moderating effect work?

[@hiruniperera672]

Hey.. can we look at the standardized value instead of unstandardized value to check the significance at last??

[@foowuijia8592]

Hi sir. I would like to ask if my moderator variables is age, I put them into two group which are below 35 years old coded as 0 and above 35 years old coded as 1, do I need to mean-centred them before running the regression analysis?

[@shwanahassan3860]

Thank you for the video, how can I have the data set?

[@researchandanalysis1]

Dear Shwana. The dataset used in the video can’t be shared. You can practice these steps on a dummy data.

[@shwanahassan3860]

but the dummy data does not give the correct result.

[@researchandanalysis1]

@@shwanahassan3860 true. But it just for practice, important thing is you should understand the steps.

[@Ha99-rb2uw]

If there are more than 1 ivs then how to make interactional and regression analysis,? Either with one by one with each iv or at once?

[@researchandanalysis1]

If you want to examine it in SPSS then you will have to run one by one.

[@Ha99-rb2uw]

[@priyamphil3821]

how to write interpretation in this moderation model sir.

[@researchandanalysis1]

For Interpretation of moderation, we rely on the significance of interaction term.

[@ShanAmazon1]

How to interpret this

[@ibrahimrahal6246]

Hello, please could we test the hypothesis positivity through the example of this video ( for example : independent variable has a positive impact on dependent variable through moderating variable )

[@echelonasia47]

Do you have email if we want clarifications?

[@foowuijia8592]

hi, first thanks for your video it is very helpful. I have a question here. I’m using age as my moderator variables. I will make into two group which are below 35 (first group) and above 35 years old (second group). Is it correct I give the first group as value 1 and the second group as value 2? After I give them the value, do I need to compute mean for this moderating variable before I multiply the moderating variables with my 4 independent variables? Thank you in advance for helping me!

[@TheKothay1]

Thank you

[@Bushrakhan-tc4yy]

you did not create mean of mean first yo need to run descriptive statistics to create mean of both independent and moderator variable than deduct from the mean that to create in transform compute variable and create interaction

[@researchandanalysis1]

Hi Bushra, Thank you for your comment and suggestion. Actually, centering is not mandatory before regression analysis. However, centering can be a useful technique to help improve the accuracy of the regression coefficients.
