The conceptual implications of data centering in interactive regression models

Article Abstract:

The suggestion that a mean centering approach can effectively overcome the problem of arbitrary scales and standardizing the interpretation of main and interactive effects in multiplicative regression models is evaluated. Scale dependence and multicollinearity are discussed, and the behavior of interaction under mean centering and non-mean centering conditions is examined. A simple example is used to show that the mean centering approach can lead to biased interpretations of main effects.
