Detailed explanation-1: -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: -Within applied statistics and research, dependent variables can be measured at a categorical level, an ordinal level, or at a continuous level.
Detailed explanation-3: -The main difference between dependent and independent variables is in the definition. The dependent variable is dependent on other variables. It is the variable that is measured or tested by a researcher. Independent variables in research can be manipulated or altered to see their impact on other variables.
