Abstract

Numerous papers in the fields of marketing and consumer behavior that utilize moderated multiple regression express concerns regarding multicollinearity issues. In most cases, however, as we show in this paper, the perceived multicollinearity is merely an illusion that arises from misinterpreting high correlations between independent variables and interaction terms.

Keywords: Multicollinearity, Moderated Multiple Regression, Interaction, Monte Carlo Simulations
