An analytic procedure is presented which casts sequential moderator analysis in the role of a multivariate test of parallelism of regressions. The procedure addresses a test for comparing predictor-criterion relationships for one set of measurements on multiple predictors and repeated measurements on a criterion. The application of the sequential moderation test to issues associated with dynamic criteria is discussed.
