RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Moderator Variable-That factor which is measured, manipulated, or selected by the experimenter to discover whether it modifies the relationship of the independent variable to an observed phenomenon. It is a special type of independent variable.

Detailed explanation-2: -Independent (Experimental, Manipulated, Treatment) Variable – That factor which is measured, manipulated, or selected by the experimenter to determine its relationship to an observed phenomenon. In an experiment, we test whether the independent causes the dependent.

Detailed explanation-3: -Independent variable is a factor that is manipulated in an experiment. The experimenter controls whether or not subjects are exposed to the independent variable. 2. Dependent variable is measured to determine if the manipulation of the independent variable had any effect.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -The variable that is measured, but not manipulated, in research is called the dependent variable. The independent variable is called the manipulated variable because it is the only one that can be purposefully changed by the researcher.
