What is "airbag moderation" and how does it build upon the concept of "Moderation"?
No full textThe airbag in your car, your immune system, the provision of free meals in schools -- and the functioning of any system (social, psychological, biological, or physical) all operate in the same manner. However, until recently there was word/term/label for this function and. unsurprisingly, no documented way to empirically test for their existence using existing statistical methods. Instead, researchers commonly tested only part of these functions -- thereby introducing a sizeable gap in knowledge into many fields of research.This webinar introduces the term that describes these functions, "Airbag Moderation", encourages attendees to reflect upon the presence of these effects in their own area of research, and describes some of the options that researchers have to statistically test for these effects. Examples are considered from the fields of Psychology, Sociology, Education, and Biology
