An interaction occurs when the effect of one variable (e.g., stress) on another variable (e.g., sleep quality) differs depending on the level or presence of a third variable (e.g., healthy lifestyle behaviors). This term accurately describes the scenario where the impact of stress on sleep varies based on someone's lifestyle behaviors on that day.
