  • mixed and time varying IV

    Dear all
    I ran an experiment where physiological datas for participants (n=147) were taken during a stress task, as well as their level of anxiety at each occasion and a time invariant IV (negative affectivity).
    DV : HRV (not transform and not normal)
    IV : occasion with 3 levels (categorical); anxiety at each occasion (anx89. continuous and centered at the mean) and affect suppression(AS45.continuous and centered at the mean).
    I ran the following model :
    mixed HRV i.occasion##c.anx89##c.AS45 || id:,mle cov(un) vce(robust)
    and obtain the following results :
    Code:
    . mixed hrv i.occasion##c.AS45##c.anx89 ||id:,mle cov(un) vce(robust)
    note: single-variable random-effects specification in id equation; covariance structure set to
          identity.

    I'am interested by the affect suppression effect related to the change of anxiety at each occasion. So my focus is on the
    occasion#c.AS45#c.anx89_2
    interaction.
    After reading some similar question on the statist, I understand that when anxiety is constant, one point increase on affect suppression lead to .30 increase in HRV.
    When using margins to compare slopes and mean HRV when AS45 and anx89 are ±1SD above or below the mean, I understand that, in this case, anxiety is average across occasions which is not what I want. Am I correct in this interpretation? if so, how could I test the anxiety increase or decrease between T1 and T2 on the influence of affect suppression on HRV??
    thanks a lot for your help.
