Caroline,
Here are some references that you might find useful for
graphing interactions. The list was given by Cam McIntosh on the semnet
listserv. Of these, i think the Bauer and the Preacher references might be most
helpful to you.

Dear Caroline,
I program a different excel file to report results after running each multilevel analysis. The steps I follow are the following: - Before running the Mixed model, Grand-center all variables (substract them the mean of the whole population), so with all predictors equal to cero (the grand mean) the level 2 residual plus gamma 00 (the common intercept) will be the "mean" of your DV for a hypothetical "representative individual" belonging to each level-2 group. - Then, using the coefficients of the regression and the interaction, calculate the effect of the changes in one IV (ceteris paribus) in the dependent variable for this "representative individual". - Recall that When you have interactions you have to take into account the beta coefficient of the principal variable and the interaction. If one of the interaction IV is a dummy (which is mostly the case), then it is useful to present 2 predicted value curves in the same graph (for both groups). - Point estimates calculated this way for predicted values are pretty straightforward. Nevertheless, prediction intervals at a certain confident level are more difficult. You have to use the Var-Covar Matrix, in order to calculate the SE of the predicted value. Mail me if you need a deeper explanation of the steps to follow. |
