谢谢你的建议和参考文献;怎么我读到的文章只是提到如果有cross level的调节作用的话,考虑用group mean centering,其他的一般都用grand mean centering呢?描述如下

There are some arguments in the literature that group mean centering is a better choice of scaling for the level-1 variables when investigating cross-level interactions (i.e., moderation).( x. E+ z4 n) M' P
More specifically, this allows one to separate out the cross-level interaction from a between group-interaction.1 ~" h6 g1 M/ @2 v7 ?3 [

We will demonstrate this notion later in the session. Note that, in addition to group mean centering, this model also includes an additional predictor of the intercept; namely, ave_mood.

We will discuss why this variable is included as a predictor of the intercept later in the session.
