Hi Ben,
Thank you for your reply, it's much appreciated.
Re: my question on moderation, given that a relationship between an independent variable and a dependent variable is generally required to have a significance of p<.05, and since p<.05 is an conventionally agreed value chosen to ascertain significance, does this not mean that any p value greater than .05 (e.g., p=.134) is, in reality, just less significant?Would this not mean that there possibly still may exist a relationship, albeit not on a conventionally agreed "significant" level? If this is the case, could moderation not still be tested for (perhaps I'm way off the mark here, apologies if this is the case)?
Also, my sample size is N=144. Given that it is above 100, could I use the Central Limit Theorem as justification not to transform my skewed variable?
Thanks and best regards,
Ken
