I am using PROCESS (Hayes, 2018) to analyze my data. It is model 10 with dichotomous X (antecedent variable), and 2 dichotomous moderators. My mediators (M) and Y variables are continuous. I am struggling to interpret the results, particularly the moderation effect. Can someone guide me to a publication that uses dichotomous X and moderators so that I can refer to it? Or if you can help me interpret the results below for example so that I can get an idea
X has two values : 1 and 2
W has two values : 1 and 2
M is continuous
Y is continuous
Model : 10
Model : Outcome variable: M coeff se t p LLCI ULCI constant 5.8867 1.0494 5.6094 .0000 3.8208 7.9527 X .2170 .6905 .3142 .7536 -1.1424 1.5764 W .7859 .5020 1.5654 .1186 -.2024 1.7742 X*W -.6322 .3198 -1.9771 .0490 -1.2618 -.0027 Z -1.1115 .5036 -2.2069 .0281 -2.1030 -.1200 X*Z .5861 .3203 1.8300 .0683 -.0444 1.2165
It says that there is no direct effect of X on M but interaction effect of X*W on M. I am specifically concerned about the interaction effect- how do I interpret it?
