    Question

    Multiple regression analysis with interaction is used to examine whether the strength of the relationship between parental sensitivity (x1x_{1}) and the degree of security of the attachment relationship (y) depends on the child’s degree of shyness (x2x_{2}). The following estimated regression equation is found: ŷ=5+1.5x10.1x2+0.5x1x2\hat{y} = 5+1.5x_{1}-0.1x_{2}+0.5x_{1}x_{2}. Which interpretation of the interaction effect is correct?

    Complete.

    The … relationship between sensitivity and safety becomes conceptual as shyness increases.
