H1 - It is hypothesised that individuals with poorer mental health will be associated with increased offending behaviours.
H2 It is further hypothesised that Dark triad traits will moderate the relationship between mental health and offending behaviours.
Can someone please tell me what the IV/DV are for each hypothesis.
Your IV is the mental health of individuals.
Your DV is the offending behaviors of each individuals.
Your first hypothesis says that there is a negative relationship between the two.
Your second hypothesis says that the dark triad traits of the individual moderate (that is, change) the relationship.
That is correct, as mentioned above although it may be advisable to use the 3 factors of the dark triad separately as individual moderators.
I agree with Dr. Dunaetz. Your IV is mental health and DV is offending behavior.
So for h1 the IV is mental health and the DV is offending behaviours.
for H2 IV is mental health and DV is offending behaviours and dark triad traits is the moderator?
