Synopsis

′′. . . The authors take an intuitive approach of explaining interactions in selected applications from psychology and sociology to make reading and understanding the material easy. . . . The book contains 90 references and is a good introduction to studying interactions. . . . the recommendations are useful guidelines to practitioners who use multiple regression extensively. The authors are certainly successful in meeting their goal, which is to present a readable and practical introduction; to interactions for social science researchers with a working knowledge of multiple regression and structural equation modeling."

--Journal of Management Research

For the social science researcher wishing to know more about interaction effects in multiple regression, this book is a must. It offers a practical, readable guide for analyzing interaction effects in the context of multiple regression and structural equation analyses. Moreover, an examination of the central issues involved in conducting analyses of moderated relationships involving continuous variables is included.

About the Author

Dr. James Jaccard is Professor of Social Work at New York University Silver School of Social Work. He received his doctoral degree from the University of Illinois, Urbana, in 1976. Dr. Jaccard’s research focuses on adolescent and young adult problem behaviors, particularly those related to unintended pregnancy and substance use, broadly defined. He has developed parent-based interventions to teach parents how to more effectively communicate and parent their adolescent children so as to reduce the risk of unintended pregnancies and problems due to substance use. Dr. Jaccard has written numerous books and articles on the analysis of interaction effects in a wide range of statistical models and teaches advanced graduate courses on structural equation modeling. He has written influential articles on the issue of arbitrary metrics in social science research. Dr. Jaccard also has written about theory construction and how to build conceptual models in a book published by Guilford Press.
