D) main effect

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An interaction effect occurs when the effect of one independent variable on the dependent variable is different depending on the value of another independent variable. This means that the relationship between the independent variable and the dependent variable is not constant, but changes based on the value of another variable. Asymmetry refers to a lack of symmetry in a distribution, correlation refers to the strength and direction of the relationship between two variables, and a main effect refers to the effect of one independent variable on the dependent variable regardless of the other independent variables.
