Types of Variables
• Independent variables are variables which are
manipulated or controlled or changed. It is what the
researcher studies to see its relationship or effects.
Presumed or possible cause
• Dependent variables are the outcome variables and are
the variables for which we calculate statistics. The variable
which changes on account of independent variable is known
as dependent variable. i.e.It is influenced or affected by the
independent variable
Presumed results(Effect)
ARM
Moderator
• It is a special type of independent variable.
• The independent variable’s relationship with the
dependent variable may change under different
conditions. That condition is the moderator variable.
• That factor which is measured, manipulated, or
selected by the experimenter to discover whether
it modifies the relationship of the independent
variable to an observed phenomenon.
ARM
Mediator
• It acts as a bridging role between variables.
• It reflects outcomes over a period of time
• Establish relationship mainly between IV and DV in
certain time frame.
