BOOK SYNOPSIS
Have you ever wondered if birth order effects vary across ethnic groups, or whether a particular clinical intervention is likely to yield dissimilar outcomes for men and women? This book provides practical guidance for using a statistical tool known as moderated multiple regression (MMR) to assess whether the relationship between two quantitative variables is moderated by group membership. Included are discussions and fully worked-out examples of how to conduct and interpret MMR analysis, as well as descriptions of computer programs that can be used to check the accuracy of results. Assuming only a basic knowledge of inferential statistics on the part of the reader, this is an essential hands-on guide for students, researchers, and practitioners. Together with its associated computer programs and data sets (available on the Web), the book will also serve as an invaluable supplemental text in advanced undergraduate statistics and methods courses and in graduate courses addressing the general linear model.

BOOK REVIEWS
"Aguinis has produced the most comprehensive single-source treatment on the topic of why and how to conduct moderated regression analysis for categorical moderators. The book presents very clear steps for how to test for moderators, but is more than a cookbook in that it also explores in detail the underlying assumptions; issues that will affect interpretation (e.g., homogeneity of variance and power); and solutions to frequently encountered problems. Examples from different types of research problems help clarify the analytical strategy, and presentation of the software for examining underlying issues is very valuable. Aguinis also provides excellent coverage of the literature surrounding the analytical strategy. This volume is an excellent reference for any researcher or student interested in studying interactions with categorical variables."--Sheldon Zedeck, PhD, Department of Psychology, University of California, Berkeley
"This book presents a complete and current treatment of a topic of great importance to management and organizational studies researchers. Strengths of the book include the use of an integrative example with data that is available to readers, and the clear presentation style. The treatment of homogeneity of error variance and statistical power problems is especially impressive and provides readers with practical guidance for dealing with these issues. This book will be an excellent resource for any researcher who works with regression models."--Larry J. Williams, PhD, Center for the Advancement of Research Methods and Analysis, School of Business, Virginia Commonwealth University
"Aguinis has provided an extraordinarily understandable guide to conducting tests of moderation by categorical variables. The book contains clear examples for running the analyses, checking assumptions, and interpreting the results. This book is an excellent resource for courses on regression analysis at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, and for individuals who need a refresher on moderator analysis."--Lois Tetrick, PhD, Department of Psychology, George Mason University
"...a comprehensive, clear treatment of moderated regression analysis involving categorical variables based on social science....This is an excellent resource with an extensive reference list, author and subject indexes, and five appendices on MMR models....Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals."--Choice
"Aguinis's text provides the researcher and student with a comprehensive and cogent discussion of key topics to consider in the planning, conduct, and interpretation of moderated multiple regression (MMR) analysis. The text integrates the vast technical literature that has developed over many decades surrounding issues in the proper use and interpretation of this methodology. As such, this is more than a simple how-to-do-it book because it also explores why, whether, and how under different conditions to best conduct MMR analysis....I must comment on one additional feature of this text I found particularly appealing and useful. The subject index is a treasure trove in its comprehensiveness for so short a book."--Organizational Research Methods
"A masterful presentation reflecting many years of research and study. It should prove to be valuable to any researcher who has even a basic understanding of statistical analysis."--International Journal of Consumer Studies
