    Study Notes

    Key Concepts of Variables

    • Dependent variables rely on other factors and are the main focus of research.
    • Independent variables influence dependent variables, leading to changes in outcomes.

    Examples of Dependent Variables

    • Test scores serve as dependent variables because they fluctuate based on various influences.
      • Factors affecting test scores include study habits, sleep quality before the test, and hunger levels during the test.

    Examples of Independent Variables

    • In research on social media's impact, the independent variable is social media use, while academic performance in mathematics is the dependent variable.
    • In analyzing study time versus exam scores among high school seniors, study time is the independent variable and exam score is the dependent variable.

    Relationship Dynamics

    • The relationship between independent and dependent variables is crucial for understanding how one influences the other in research scenarios.

    Key Concepts of Variables

    • Dependent variables rely on other variables or factors to change or be measured.
    • Independent variables are those that cause change in the dependent variables.

    Importance of Dependent Variables

    • Researchers primarily focus on dependent variables to assess outcome effects.
    • Examples of dependent variables include test scores, academic performance, and exam scores, which fluctuate based on various influencing factors.

    Examples of Independent and Dependent Variables

    • In the context of a test score:

      • Dependent Variable: Test score
      • Influencing factors: Study habits, sleep quality, hunger level during the test.
    • Assessing academic performance in mathematics:

      • Independent Variable: Use of social media
      • Dependent Variable: Academic performance.
    • Evaluating the relationship between study habits and examination results:

      • Independent Variable: Study time
      • Dependent Variable: Exam score.
