Substantive Theory and Statistical Interaction: Five Models

Southwood, Kenneth E.·1978·American Journal of Sociology

Abstract

For a series of theoretical models involving two independent interval-scale variables acting together to produce a joint causal effect, different modes of analysis are described. In each case statistical interaction is involved, but the form of this interation differs with each model. Methods for deriving appropriate interaction terms are given. These models provide a flexibility for statistical analyses appropriate to a broader range of theories than can be treated well by conventional regression procedures. If, as seems likely, theoretical propositions are often stated in empirical research in a form appropriate to additive multiple regression, these methods suggest that such propositions might be reexamined and reformulated. It is possible that the methods have particular relevance for some aspects of functional, equilibrium, balance, and conflict theories.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
