Research Question: To what extent does moderator moderate the relationship between independent variable and dependent variable? H0: Moderator does not moderate the relationship between independent variable and dependent variable. Ha: Moderator does moderate the relationship between independent variable and dependent variable. Data Analysis To examine the research question, a Baron and Kenny moderation analysis will be conducted to assess if moderator moderates the relationship between independent variable and dependent variable. To examine for moderation, a multiple linear regression will be conducted. The independent variables of the regression are independent variable, moderator, and the interaction between independent variable and moderator. The interaction is created by multiplying independent variable and moderator together after both have been centered to have a mean of 0. The dependent variable of the regression is dependent variable. If the interaction is significant, then moderation is supported.
