BetaDiff needs for input: from sample 1: n1: sample size mean(y1): mean of dependent variable sd(y1): standard deviation of dependent variable mean(x1): mean of independent variable sd(x1): standard deviation of independent variable corr1: correlation of x1 and y1 from sample 2: n2: sample size mean(y2): mean of dependent variable sd(y2): standard deviation of dependent variable mean(x2): mean of independent variable sd(x2): standard deviation of independent variable corr2: correlation of x2 and y2 The data needed for input can be obtained with SPSS by using the commands: temporary. select if sample=1. /* selection of sample 1 */ correlation y1 x1 /missing listwise /statistics descriptives. temporary. select if sample=2. /* selection of sample 2 */ correlation y2 x2 /missing listwise /statistics descriptives. The output of BetaDiff contains: - the unstandardized betas, their standard errors, and levels of significance from sample 1 and sample 2 - the 95%-confidence interval of the difference of the betas, its standard error, and level of significance - the beta, standard error, 95%-confidence interval and level of significance of a model with parallel slopes - the difference and its 95%-confidence interval, standard error, and level of significance of the difference of the constants of a model with parallel slopes
