I have run a hierarchical multiple regression in SPSS, and read that I should also include Interaction Terms in the Final Block. I have 4 IVs (Paternal Nurturance, Maternal Nurturances, Paternal Psychological Control and Maternal Psychological Control). Should I include all 6 Interaction between these 4 IVs or should I only include appropriate Interaction, and if it is the latter How can I detect what is the appropriate Interaction using SPSS?
This is the first time I'm using Hierachical Regression so I'm very confused.

Hello Nguyen,
Cristian Ramos-Vera 's will help you to address how to form interaction terms and evaluate them in a regression model.
The choice of predictors to enter at each stage of a hierarchical regression depends entirely on your research question(s) or aims. In the case of trying to test for moderation, then, yes--the interaction term is important and usually is part of the final step. However, a common application for HR is that of answering the question, what is the explanatory power of variable set "B" after accounting for (or "controlling for") variable set "A?"
Here's a related RG link that you may find helpful: https://www.researchgate.net/post/What_is_the_right_order_of_entries_in_hierarchical_multiple_regression_involving_variables_described
Good luck with your work.
Thank you very much Cristian Ramos-Vera and David Morse , this is exaclty the information that I was looking for!
