Detailed explanation-1: -The independent variable can be a “treatment” (such as a drug dosage), a “risk factor” (such as diet), an intervention, or a predictor (such as weight or age). The independent variable could be a natural difference (such as gender), or it could be varied by the researcher intentionally.
Detailed explanation-2: -Independent Variable Definition: The intervention designed to have an effect on the dependent variable. The independent variable intervenes on the phenomenon of interest.
Detailed explanation-3: -This is the behavior that you are measuring also known as the target behavior. This variable/behavior is affected by the implementation of the independent variable (or intervention).
