RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -A dependent variable is what you measure in the experiment and what is affected during the experiment. The dependent variable responds to the independent variable.

Detailed explanation-2: -The responding variable, or dependent variable, is what the scientist measures as a result of the test variable. It is the effect of the cause-and-effect relationships being studied. Data from the responding variable can be quantitative or qualitative.

Detailed explanation-3: -So, there are two variables-the one bringing the change is known as the independent variable and the variable that responds to the change is known as a dependent variable.

Detailed explanation-4: -An independent variable is the variable that is changed or controlled in a scientific experiment to test the effects on the dependent variable.

Detailed explanation-5: -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 depend on the independent variable (type of therapy).
