• β3 is the amount of change in the effect of X on Y for a one unit increase in Z
• Z is the moderator, but we could instead specify X as the moderator of the Z on Y relation
• Rearrange equation so that you have only one predictor and assign values to the other one (e.g., - 1 SD + 1 SD):
• For example we will assign values to Z. Let’s say that the SD of Z is 2.31. We can use values of -2.31 and 2.31.

Multiple Groups Approach to Interactions in SEM
• For categorical moderators use a multiple group SEM approach • Each level of the moderator is specified as a group (e.g. male – female) • Investigate differences in regression coefficients (slopes) across groups • Tests of differences in slopes (i.e., moderation) involve nested models
comparing constrained (to equality) vs. unconstrained regression coefficient parameters.
• Evidence of moderation when unconstrained model fits significantly
better than the constrained model

Multiple-Groups Example: Gender
Test for metric invariance first grouping is gender (1=male 2=female); model: dep by dep1b dep2b dep3b dep4b; grade with dep; vs. model: dep by dep1b dep2b dep3b dep4b; grade with dep; model female: dep by dep2b dep3b dep4b; χ2
(16) 41.85 - χ2(13) 35.75 = χ2
(3) 6.10, n.s. (crit χ2
(3) at p = .05 = 7.82)
In this model, the loadings for males and females are constrained to equality (Mplus default)
In this model, we specify to unconstrain the female loadings (i.e., not force them to equal the male loadings). Note. No need to do this for the first indicator set at 1.

grouping is gender (1=male 2=female); model: dep by dep1b dep2b dep3b dep4b; grade on dep (1); vs. model: dep by dep1b dep2b dep3b dep4b; grade on dep; χ2
(17) 50.41 - χ2(16) 41.85 = χ2
(1) 8.56, p < .001 (crit χ2
(1) at p = .05 = 3.84)
Multiple-Groups Example: Gender
In this model, the regression coefficient of grade regressed on the latent variable dep is constrained to equality across gender by adding the label (1).
In this second model, the regression coefficient of grade regressed on the latent variable dep is left unconstrained across gender.

Mplus approach: • Latent moderated structural equations (LMS) method • QML – Quasi-maximum likelihood • A. Klein and Muthen (2007) • LMS/QML approach does not require separate indicators
representing the interaction • Works only with raw data • See Kline p. 341-342 for description and Mplus manual (version 7) p.
