A plot of predicted values of social skills for the two groups of children is shown in Figure 3. As predicted, childcare quality was non-significantly related to social skills for the low-malleability group, B̂1 = 3.41 (SE = 2.87). In contrast, childcare quality was relatively strongly and significantly related to social skills for the high-malleability group, B̂2 = 20.92 (SE = 5.53). Thus, at high levels of childcare quality, the high-malleability group had predicted levels of social skills that were higher than those for the low-malleability group; but, at low levels of childcare quality, the high-malleability group had lower predicted levels of social skills.
