RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -A manipulated variable, also known as an independent variable, is a part of an experiment that you can change to see how other variables respond. Here are the three types of variables in an experiment: Manipulated variable: The variable that you control and change based on the experiment.

Detailed explanation-2: -Independent variables can be manipulated to create two conditions and experiments involving a single independent variable with two conditions is often referred to as a single factor two-level design. However, sometimes greater insights can be gained by adding more conditions to an experiment.

Detailed explanation-3: -Independent variables (IV): These are the factors or conditions that you manipulate in an experiment. Your hypothesis is that this variable causes a direct effect on the dependent variable.

Detailed explanation-4: -The manipulated or independent variable is the one that you control. The controlled variable is the one that you keep constant. The responding variable or variables is what happens as a result of the experiment (i.e. it’s the output variable).
