To those who answered my previous question regarding how to interpret
interactions when variables were transformed, thank you. The information
provided was very helpful.

I have another question about centering my variables. The readings I have
done recommend that I center my predictor and moderator variables. As I
undesrtand, I should first apply the transformations and then center the
variables to run the regression. Is this correct? Sorry, if this question is
seemingly simple but I want to make sure that I've got this right.

Thanks in advance for your help.
Sonia
