Detailed explanation-1: -A dependent variable is what you measure and what is affected during the experiment. The dependent variable responds to the independent variable, it is called as dependent because it “depends” on the independent variable.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -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-4: -A variable is what is measured or manipulated in an experiment. Variables provide the means by which scientists structure their observations. Identifying the variables in an experiment provides a solid understanding of the experiment and what the key findings in the experiment are going to be.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
