Graphic display of the three kinds of moderation effects. a) The within-person moderation effect graph shows that when the time-varying ethnic identity commitment level is higher, the within-person relation between perceived discrimination and externalizing problems is weakened; b) the cross-level moderation effect graph shows that the within-person relation between perceived discrimination and externalizing problems is weakened for whom—those with higher average levels of family social support; and c) the between-person moderation effect graph shows that the between-person relation between perceived discrimination and externalizing problems is weakened for whom—those with higher average levels of anger suppression. PRaCYc = person-mean centered PRaCY (perceived discrimination). MEIMc = person-mean centered MEIM (ethnic identity commitment).
