Re: Can i modify the results of my moderating effect
We strongly suggest not to "torture" methods until it confesses what you expect.
In case of your situation, the coefficients are so small that no variations would lead to a different solution. The problem may be with your data. Please check them again (or collect more data). But if the data is good, take the results as they are: There may be no relevant moderating effect!
Sorry, there is (as always) not a straightforward solution when estimations do not meet expectation (what is the usual case in statistical analyses).
Best regards
