Hello, assuming you are running your analysis using GLM, please use the following subcommand: /PRINT = DESCRIPTIVE PARAMETER The keyword PARAMETER will print out the regression coefficients for covariate-outcome separately for each level of the factor variable and you can see where your interaction is coming from. Let me know if you have any additional questions about it. Bozena

-----Original Message----- From: SPSSX(r) Discussion [mailto:SPSSX-L@LISTSERV.UGA.EDU] On Behalf Of Talk Stats Sent: Thursday, February 21, 2008 10:59 AM To: SPSSX-L@LISTSERV.UGA.EDU Subject: SPSS: Interaction of a covariate and factor

Hi,

After I have found that the interaction between a covariate and factor is significant, I would like to know if each level of the factor has a significant interaction term with the covariate, or if only one of the levels is different than the other two in terms of the interaction term.

I can't figure out how to do this in SPSS. It appears that I need to write a contrast script, but I can't create a contrast for a covariate, and the resulting output does not display the interaction effect.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I've attached my code below. Thanks. Sincerely, Jon

Notes: JND is the dependent, Baseline is the covariate, Location is the factor. UNIANOVA JND WITH Baseline BY Location /CONTRAST (Location)=special(-2 1 1, 1 -2 1, 1 1 -2) /METHOD = SSTYPE(3) /INTERCEPT = EXCLUDE /CRITERIA = ALPHA(.05) /DESIGN = Baseline Location Baseline by Location.
