repeated measures, multiple regression, need to test for interaction

gunesk
Hi,

I have a repeated measures design where I am looking at the development of a dependent variable over time (T1 and T2). I want to predict the difference in development (T2 - T1) with a continuous IV which I believe is a moderator. So I want to look at an interaction between DV at T1 and the IV. How can I do that in a multiple regression analysis? I have already centered all the variables and created an interaction term but I don't know what I put in SPSS. Someone help pleaseee!!!

Re: repeated measures, multiple regression, need to test for interaction

Maguin, Eugene
Gunesk,

I'm a little confused by your message as it seems like two different things
are being described. On one hand I think you are doing this:

Compute delta=dvT2-dvT1.
Regression dependent=delta/enter iv.

No moderation is possible. IV is going to predict the T1-T2 difference.
Actually a regression is not needed as a correlation will do the same thing.

On the other hand I think you are doing this:

Compute dvT1_iv=dvT1*iv. /* leave the centering business out.
Regression dependent=dvT2/enter iv dvT1 dvT1_iv.

This would be moderation or simply an interaction between iv and dvT1. But
note that this version does not predict the difference in development.
