Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -A dependent variable is what changes as a result of the independent variable manipulation in experiments. It’s what you’re interested in measuring, and it ‘depends’ on your independent variable.
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -An independent variable is the variable that is changed or controlled in a scientific experiment to test the effects on the dependent variable. A dependent variable is the variable being tested and measured in a scientific experiment. The dependent variable is ‘dependent’ on the independent variable.
Detailed explanation-5: -In regression analysis, those factors are called “variables.” You have your dependent variable-the main factor that you’re trying to understand or predict. In Redman’s example above, the dependent variable is monthly sales.
