Situation strength as a basis for interactions in psychological models.

Abstract: One of the most important methods that psychological scientists use to understand behavior and cognition is theorizing. Increasingly, theorizing is used to support not only additive hypotheses, but also multiplicative ones. And yet, authors often struggle to provide adequate theoretical justifications for multiplicative hypotheses. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, W. Mischel averred that, in "strong" situations, behavior is relatively uniform regardless of one's personality characteristics. In "weak" situati… Show more

“…Although suppression can take many forms (see Friedman & Wall, 2005, for a review), the classic notion is that a suppressor variable is a predictor that is unrelated to the DV but correlated with the other predictor, which is itself related to the DV (Horst et al, 1941). As Cortina et al, in press) point out, there is a unique connection between suppression and RV when the compression occurs on the IV. Cortina and colleagues show that when there is IV compression (i.e., the moderator acts as a moderator because it compresses the IV), it results in a correlation between the IV and the moderator.…”

“…The concept of RV interactions has been extended beyond Mischel's original conception of the effect of situation strength on personality‐behavior relationships to explain many other relationships observed in the psychological sciences. Specifically, Cortina et al (2022) describe how RV interactions appear in research on the neurological bases of emotions, memory retrieval and cognition, the effects of adversity, and the causes of certain psychological disorders. They note that most models in modern psychology contain interaction effects, and that RV interactions, in particular, are quite common because psychology scholars often study contextual or relational factors that take the form of “moderators‐as‐compressors” even if they don't realize it.…”
