abstract="In regression analyses predictor variables can suppress the effects of other predictor variables, sometimes even resulting in &quot;flipped&quot; relations relative to their zero-order relations (i.e. negative suppression). Drawing on research examining the relations between religion and prejudice, and between ideology and desiring &quot;tall poppies&quot; (successful people) to fall, we highlight examples where researchers appear to have made inappropriate or confusing interpretations of their findings. We compare these examples to a best practice illustration involving associations between psychopathy and counter-productive work behavior. Finally, we provide practical guidelines for thinking about suppression effects in research programmes.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
