Introduction to Multilevel Moderation Analysis: Probing and Plotting Cross Level Interaction

• Worshop Description

In this workshop, participants will be introduced to test a moderator model with multilevel data using Linear Mixed Models in SPSS. The moderation will be theoretically introduced within a multilevel framework, followed by an empirical application. First, it will show how to conduct a cross level interaction with MIXED procedure using a parametric method but also using bootstrapping. Than computational tools will be used for probing and plotting interactions in multilevel modeling. Finally, it will highlight the presentation of the obtained results in Health Research.

Note that the SPSS and R packages will be available on the computers of the laboratory where the course takes place.

• Workshop Outcomes

When this workshop is complete, participants should be able to:

1. To conduct a multilevel moderation analysis

2. To probe and to plot interactions with multilevel modeling

• Who can attend

• Fully registered delegates only

• Previous knowledge on linear regression analysis will be helpful
