AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -An independent variable is the variable you manipulate, control, or vary in an experimental study to explore its effects. It’s called “independent” because it’s not influenced by any other variables in the study.

Detailed explanation-2: -ANOVA stands for analysis of variance and tests for differences in the effects of independent variables on a dependent variable. A two-way ANOVA test is a statistical test used to determine the effect of two nominal predictor variables on a continuous outcome variable.

Detailed explanation-3: -Detailed Solution. Assertion A: In experimental research, the effect of the independent variable is examined on the dependent variable. It is a scientific approach to research, where one or more independent variables are manipulated and applied to one or more dependent variables to measure their effect on the latter.

Detailed explanation-4: -The dependent variable is the variable being tested and measured in an experiment, and is ‘dependent’ on the independent variable. An example of a dependent variable is depression symptoms, which depends on the independent variable (type of therapy).

Detailed explanation-5: -An experiment is a type of empirical study that features the manipulation of an independent variable, the measurement of a dependent variable, and control of extraneous variables.
