New variables constructed by a researcher by taking one variable and multiplying it by another to determine the joint impact of both.

None of the above

Detailed explanation-1: -Those that probably cause, influence, or affect outcomes. They are invariably called treatment, manipulated, antecedent or predictor variables. This is the cause variable or the one responsible for the conditions that act on something else to bring about changes.
Detailed explanation-2: -Experimental manipulation describes the process by which researchers purposefully change, alter, or influence the independent variables (IVs), which are also called treatment variables or factors, in an experimental research design.
Detailed explanation-3: -Independent variables are those that (probably) cause, influence, or affect outcomes. They are also called treatment manipulated antecedent or predictor variables.
Detailed explanation-4: -You can think of independent and dependent variables in terms of cause and effect: an independent variable is the variable you think is the cause, while a dependent variable is the effect. In an experiment, you manipulate the independent variable and measure the outcome in the dependent variable.
