Study Notes
Variables in Analysis
- The independent variable (IV) is the variable that is intentionally changed by the researcher to observe its effect on the dependent variable.
- The dependent variable (DV) is the variable being measured or observed in response to the changes made to the independent variable.
Roles of Variables
- The independent variable (IV) is the cause or predictor, as it is intentionally changed to observe its effect.
- The dependent variable (DV) is the effect or outcome, as its value changes in response to the independent variable.
Classical Names
- The independent variable (IV) is also known as the stimulus or predictor variable.
- The dependent variable (DV) is also known as the response or outcome variable.
