INDEPENDENT

is changed or controlled;(EXAMPLE) the brightness of light has any effect on a moth being attracted to the light. The brightness of the light is controlled by the scientist. This would be the independent variable.

DEPENDENT

is measured or tested;(EXAMPLE)How the moth reacts to the different light levels (distance to light source) would be the dependent variable.

What are variables?

Any attribute that can have different values, such as height, age, temperature, or test results, is referred to as a variable in research.

What is the difference between independent and dependent variables?

Independent variable:

In an experimental study, an independent variable is one that you change or alter to examine its effects. It is named "independent" because it is unaffected by any other study variables.

Dependent variable:

A dependent variable is one that is altered as a result of the modification of an independent variable. Your independent variable "depends" on the outcome you're interested in measuring.

Example:

You conduct an experiment to see if variations in the room's temperature have an impact on students' math test results.

  • The inside temperature of the space is an example of an independent variable. By making the room cooler for half the participants and warmer for the other half, you can change the temperature.
  • Test results in mathematics are your dependent variable. Using a standardized test, you measure each participant's math skills to see if there are any temperature-related differences.
