RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

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: -Variables are measurement using an instrument, device, or computer. The scale of the variable measured drastically affects the type of analytical techniques that can be used on the data, and what conclusions can be drawn from the data. There are four scales of measurement, nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio.

Detailed explanation-3: -Researchers often manipulate or measure independent and dependent variables in studies to test cause-and-effect relationships. The independent variable is the cause. Its value is independent of other variables in your study. The dependent variable is the effect.

Detailed explanation-4: -The dependent variable is the response that is measured. One way to think about it is that the dependent variable depends on the change in the independent variable. In theory, a change in the independent variable will lead to a change in the dependent variable.

Detailed explanation-5: -Measurement variables are categorized into four types, namely; nominal, ordinal, interval and ratio variables.
