Quantitative Research

Research that uses numerical data and statistical analysis to understand relationships between variables.

Variables

Characteristics that can change or take on different values in a research study.

Independent Variable

The variable that is manipulated or changed by the researcher to observe its effect on another variable.

Dependent Variable

The variable that is measured to observe the effect of the independent variable.
