Hello,

When performing a PROCESS model (Hayes, 2013) for moderation, the overall model was not significant R2 = .03, F(3, 186) = 2.12, p = .100, but one main effect was (b = -.39, SE = .18, p = .031).

My question: is it allowed to interpret the main effect if the overall model is not significant?

And: how do I interpret the effects if the independent variable is a categorical variable? (The dependent variable and the moderator are both interval).

Kind regards
