dealing with the interacting predictor variables, plotting or tabling sub-group means, others calculate and contrast slopes reflecting the differential predictive relation between the continuously measured environmental predictor and outcome for groups that differ on the moderating susceptibility factor. Only rarely is it reported whether such slopes differ significantly from each other, as would be preferable when the moderator does not have a natural break point, but is a continuous dimension (but as is not be required when the moderator is naturally categorical with only two categories). Perhaps analogously, it is not always reported when the subclass means are plotted and exactly which mean differs significantly from which others.
