Good point. I thought it was an R question because it was about
confirming what the output of an R function actually represents, and it
is not explicitly documented in the help file. I was about 80% sure that
it is what you just confirmed it to be in your answer, but I didn't want
to yet again make an assumption about the behavior of this software that
I'd have to retract later. I am going to hold on to my assumption that
no multiple comparison corrections were done and it's up to me to do that.
Each of the t tests for b:c2, b:c3, and b:c4 test the null hypotheses:
difference in slopes of a onto b between groups scored c2 (or c3 or
c4) and the group scored c1 is equal to zero.
Yes! This is precisely the hypothesis I'm testing at the moment.
The package I refered to seems to be what you want.
Thank you, I will look into that because most of the time I really do
need to do pairwise tests of all combinations. Just not this time.
