When using multiple regression, researchers frequently wish to explore how the relationship between two variables is moderated by another variable; this is termed an interaction. Historically, two approaches have been used to probe interactions: the pick-a-point approach and the Johnson-Neyman (JN) technique. The pick-a-point approach has limitations that can be avoided using the JN technique. Currently, the software available for implementing the JN technique and creating corresponding figures lacks several desirable features-most notably, ease of use and figure quality. To fill this gap in the literature, we offer a free Microsoft Excel 2013 workbook, CAHOST (a concatenation of the first two letters of the authors' last names), that allows the user to seamlessly create publication-ready figures of the results of the JN technique.
在使用多元回归时,研究人员常常希望探究两个变量之间的关系是如何被另一个变量调节的;这被称为交互作用。从历史上看,有两种方法被用于探究交互作用:选点法和约翰逊 - 奈曼(JN)技术。选点法存在一些局限性,而使用JN技术可以避免这些局限性。目前,可用于实施JN技术并创建相应图形的软件缺乏一些理想的功能——最显著的是易用性和图形质量。为了填补文献中的这一空白,我们提供了一个免费的Microsoft Excel 2013工作簿CAHOST(作者姓氏前两个字母的拼接),它允许用户无缝创建JN技术结果的可用于发表的图形。
