Detailed explanation-1: -Qualitative. Qualitative variables represent experimental manipulations that differ in kind or type. With qualitative experimental manipulations, participants are randomly assigned to specific research conditions, or treatment and control groups that vary in characteristics.
Detailed explanation-2: -Manipulation means that something is purposefully changed by the researcher in the environment. Control is used to prevent outside factors from influencing the study outcome. When something is manipulated and controlled and then the outcome happens, it makes us more confident that the manipulation “caused” the outcome.
Detailed explanation-3: -Manipulation is always a part of experimental research.
Detailed explanation-4: -An experiment is a type of empirical study that features the manipulation of an independent variable, the measurement of a dependent variable, and control of extraneous variables.
