Study Notes
Types of Variables
- A strong relationship exists between the quality of library facilities (X) and the performance of the students (Y).
- Extraneous variables are present in all studies and can affect the measurement of study variables and the relationship among these variables.
Intervening Variables
- External variables can influence the relationship between research variables, even if they are not visible to the researcher.
- These variables can impact the relationship between the variables being studied, making it essential to identify and control for them.
