The independent variable is called independent because it is the variable that is being manipulated or changed by the researcher to observe its effect on the dependent variable. It is independent of any other factors in the experiment because its values are determined by the researcher's actions.
Age can be considered an independent variable in a research study if it is being manipulated or controlled by the researcher. However, in many cases, age is treated as a confounding variable because it is often difficult to manipulate and may impact the relationship between other variables being studied.
The elements of experiments include the independent variable (manipulated by the researcher), dependent variable (outcome being measured), control group (not exposed to the independent variable), and experimental group (exposed to the independent variable). Variables can be independent (controlled by the researcher), dependent (measured to see the effect of the independent variable), or extraneous (unintended variables that can affect the results).
Variables in qualitative research help to capture and analyze different aspects of the research phenomenon. They guide the researcher in exploring relationships, patterns, and themes within the data. Variables can also be used to categorize and compare different attributes or characteristics of the participants in the study.
Operational definition. :)
The dependent variable is the variable that the researcher does not control. The researcher will change one variable called the independent variable (ex. temperature, amount of sunlight, amount of food, etc.) and then observe the corresponding dependent variable (ex. reaction of organism, amount of plant growth, swimming speed, etc.)
there is no hierarchical power relationship between researcher and respondent in Feminist Research. feminist research analyze the variable in feminist perspective.
Non Experimental Research. Involves studying naturally occurring variation in the dependent and independent variable without any intervention by the researcher.
The independent variable is the one which the researcher controls and manipulates. On a graph this is the 'x' axis.
