I hope one of you can help me figure out how to analyze the following;

Basically, I created a model that conceptually looks like this: - 7 independent variables - 1 dependent variable - 1 moderator all variables are measured on a five-point Likert scale

For the total sample, the 7 IVs and the 1 DV were asked across two conditions, to test if there would be any differences between the two situations.

Now, if I were to run 1 regression for the model described above for the first condition and subsequently run a similar regression for the second condition. Can I compare these betas across the two conditions in the same way as related topics: https://www.researchgate.net/post/Can_we_compare_betas_of_two_different_regression_analyses Testing equality of coefficients from two different regressions

If anyone can help me get a definitive answer to my issue, I would be very grateful

If I understood you correctly, you are running a multiple regression analysis with 1 criterion variable (what you call the dependent variable) and 7 predictors (what you call the independent variables) and 1 moderator. So you perform the analysis in two different conditions.

You can absolutely compare the (standardised) betas, that is why they are there. However, you need to consider if it is still theoretically meaningful to you to compare them considering the change in the conditions.
