I have run a Latent class analysis and have also included one interaction term. However, I did not understand how to interpret the following significant utilities within the output of one of the classes:
Output class 1:
Attribute 1; level 1 = 30.12345 (pos. significant utility)
Attribute 2; level 2 = 57.04145 (pos. significant utility)
(Attribute 1; level 1) x (Attribute 2; level 2) = -54.13564 (neg. significant utility)
It looks strange that both levels individually have a significant positive utility, but that in the interaction term that combination has a significant negative utility.
How is that possible?
Thank you in advance.
