RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The dependent variable is the variable that is being measured or tested in an experiment. 1 For example, in a study looking at how tutoring impacts test scores, the dependent variable would be the participants’ test scores since that is what is being measured.

Detailed explanation-2: -❖ The variable that researchers are trying to explain or predict is called the response variable. It is also sometimes called the dependent variable because it depends on another variable. ❖ The variable that is used to explain or predict the response variable is called the explanatory variable.

Detailed explanation-3: -Within applied statistics and research, dependent variables can be measured at a categorical level, an ordinal level, or at a continuous level.

Detailed explanation-4: -A responding variable is a variable that the researcher predicts will change if the manipulated variable changes. A responding variable is also called a dependent variable.
