Newsom, Jason T.; Prigerson, Holly G.; Schulz, Richard; Reynolds, Charles F., III – International Journal of Aging and Human Development, 2003
Many topics in aging research address questions about group differences in prediction. Such questions can be viewed in terms of interaction or moderator effects, and use of appropriate methods to test these hypotheses are necessary to arrive at accurate conclusions about age differences. This article discusses the conceptual, methodological, and…
