If a study examines the interaction effect of X1 (a dichotomous variable) and X2 (a dichotomous variable) on Y, the mediating variable M plays a mediating role in the interaction effect, and the moderating variable W changes the classification of the independent variable X1 (e.g., from dichotomous to trichotomous). How is this conceptual model figure drawn?
Drawing a conceptual model figure can help to represent the relationships between variables in your study visually. Here is an example of how you could draw a conceptual model figure for the study you described:
Here is an example of what the conceptual model figure might look like:

Of course, your conceptual model figure's specific layout and design may vary depending on your preferences and the software you use to create it.
