RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The independent variable, also known as the manipulated variable, is the factor manipulated by the researcher, and it produces one or more results, known as dependent variables.

Detailed explanation-2: -The independent variable is the variable that is manipulated by the experimenter.

Detailed explanation-3: -An independent variable is the variable you manipulate, control, or vary in an experimental study to explore its effects. It’s called “independent” because it’s not influenced by any other variables in the study. Independent variables are also called: Explanatory variables (they explain an event or outcome)

Detailed explanation-4: -Manipulation of the Independent Variable Again, to manipulate an independent variable means to change its level systematically so that different groups of participants are exposed to different levels of that variable, or the same group of participants is exposed to different levels at different times.

Detailed explanation-5: -What is a Dependent Variable? In an experiment, the independent variable is manipulated and the effects observed. These observed effects are called dependent variables. They are often the hypothesized outcome of manipulating the independent variable.
