seminr (version 0.7.0)

interaction_scaled: interaction_scaled creates interaction measurement items by scaled product indicator approach.

Description

This function automatically generates interaction measurement items for a PLS SEM using scaled product indicator approach.

Usage

# standardized product indicator approach as per Henseler & Chin (2010):
 interaction_scaled("construct1", "construct2")

Arguments

construct1

The first construct which is subject to the interaction.

construct2

The second construct which is subject to the interaction.
