Kinds of Variables

Variable Characteristics
1. Independent An independent variable is
the variable you manipulate,
control, or vary in an
experimental study to
explore its effects.
2. Dependent A dependent variable is the
variable that changes as a
result of the independent
variable manipulation.
 3. Intervening An intervening variable is a
hypothetical variable used to
explain causal links between
other variables.
4. Control A control variable is what is
kept the same throughout
the experiment, and it is not
of primary concern in the
experimental outcome.
5. Confounding Compute the measure of
association both before and
after adjusting for a
potential confounding
factor.
