Detailed explanation-1: -Dependent Variables. Dependent variables are the measured behaviors of participants. They are dependent because they “depend on” what the participants do. The most obvious example is text entry speed, measured, for example, in words per minute.

Detailed explanation-2: -A dependent variable is the variable that changes as a result of the independent variable manipulation. It’s the outcome you’re interested in measuring, and it “depends” on your independent variable. In statistics, dependent variables are also called: Response variables (they respond to a change in another variable)

Detailed explanation-3: -The variable that is measured by the experimenter is the dependent variable. There are two main variables in an experiment, the independent variable and the dependent variable. The independent variable is what the scientists changes between the groups. The dependent variable is what they measure.

Detailed explanation-4: -In an experiment, the factor that we measure is called the independent variable. For example : If in an experiment we measure length of the object to calculate its volume, here length is the independent variable. Was this answer helpful?
