Thanks to everybody who chimed in!

I arrived at the conclusion that (1) there's a lot of interesting stuff about interactions and (2) the figure I was looking for does not exist.

So, I made it myself! Here's a simple illustration of how to control for confounding in interactions:>

Shameless plug here for a paper of mine on how the therapeutic relationship is conceptualize, in ESTs & theoretical orientations more broadly. I think it could be helpful for how principle driven treatment & ESTs converge (or don't always) & how do you move forward

A casual but causal take on measurement invariance Testing for measurement invariance is one of those things where researchers roughly fall into two categories. Either they consider it an incomprehensible and arcane practice that only nerds could ever...

New blog post in which I discuss measurement invariance from a causal perspective. Come for the amateurish featured image (who needs photoshop anyway), stay for fancy Pooh as figure label. Bonus: You'll finally understand the different levels of invariance (I hope).

Here too for the X-boycotters: 1st 1st author manuscript, elated, etc. etc., letโ€™s get to it: We need more high-quality norms in psychology and traditional sampling and norming techniques wonโ€™t get us there. MRP can help, though!

If you're looking for academic work on this (including a couples treatment approach) then Dan O'Leary, Steve Beach, & Mark Whisman have a good bit on this, though a lot of it was done awhile back

If you're looking for lay stuff then unfortunately not sure
