used in research project. It pertinent to define and identify the variables
while designing quantative research projects. A variable incites
excitement in a research than constant. It is therefore critical for beginners
in research to have clarity about this term and related concepts.

The independent variable is the antecedent while the dependent

variable is the consequent. If the independent is an active variable then we
manipulate the values of the variable to study its affect another variable.
Dependent variable is the variable that is affected by the independent
variable. The dependent variable is dependent in independent variable.

probability that it can destroy you to them.
The negative effects of cyberbullying to a person who experience it,
has sometimes become critical because no one knows how the victim controls
the emotion he/she felt inside maybe it can be the reason to take suicide or

root of all this effect is all about the post you are posting in your Facebook or
in any social sites that sometimes you are not aware that there are people that
are curious on how you act and being exage in your post like you are
pertaining something that you want others to feel it so that sometimes people
