   Question

   If age - which is a continuous variable - has a significantly negative moderation effect on the effect of hours of training on sports performance, then for whom (i.e. people of which age) is the effect of hours of training on sports performance the strongest?

   
   
   1. FALSE: The effect of training on performance does not vary with age
   2. TRUE: Young people
   3. FALSE: People with average age
   4. FALSE: Older people
   
   

   Solution

   A negative moderation effect means that the interaction effect is negative or, in other words, that the moderator M weakens the relationship between X and Y. Therefore, the option  ‘Young people’ is correct.

   
   
   1. False
   2. True
   3. False
   4. False
