English term or phrase: interaction effect of
Consequently, all four variables indicated significant differences in the main effect of independence, Efficiency Orientation: F(1, xxx) = xx.xx, p < .001, ..., and did not show a main effect of business orientation, nor an interaction effect of independence and business orientation.

Can this interaction effect be interaction?

Thank you.

Selected answer:Yes, basically it means interaction
Explanation:
"effect" has the following meaning, among others, according to the Free Dictionary:
1. Something brought about by a cause or agent; a result.

So I understand the text to mean that there was no indication that independence and business orientation had any effect on each other. They are not correlated.
