Interpreting The Effect Of The Interaction BetweenInitial Status Of <strong>Growth</strong> In Math Achievement<strong>And</strong> Course Taking In Grade 6• Model equation for slope ss = a + b1*i + b2*mthcrs7 + b3*i*mthcrs7 + eor, using a moderator function (Klein & Moosbrugger, 2000) wherei moderates the influence of mthcrs7 on ss = a + b1*i + (b2 + b3*i)*mthcrs7 + e• Estimated modelUnstandardizeds = 0.417 + 0.087*i + (0.045 – 0.047*i)*mthcrs7Standardized with respect to i and mthcrs7s = 0.42 + 0.08 * i + (0.04-0.04*i)*mthcrs7167Interpreting The Effect Of The Interaction BetweenInitial Status Of <strong>Growth</strong> In Math Achievement<strong>And</strong> Course Taking In Grade 6 (Continued)• Interpretation of the standardized solutionAt the mean of i, which is zero, the slope increases 0.04 for 1 SDincrease in mthcrs7At 1 SD below the mean of i, which is zero, the slope increases0.08 for 1 SD increase in mthcrs7At 1 SD above the mean of i, which is zero, the slope does notincrease as a function of mthcrs716884
