== == A 'manipulated' variable can be what is called an independent variable in a research setting. Say that I want to know what medications will be most effective in helping people suffering from infection-related stomach ulcers. I have several volunteers who will be in the study, divided into equal groups. I could do any of the following: study one single med and vary the doses across groups with one control group receiving a placebo; I could study several different meds, and perhaps even have various dose-groups for each of them as well if I have enough groups of appropriate size, or I could compare naturopathic or dietetic treatments with meds. In all of these cases the variations in treatment protocols represent the manipulated variable. The dependent variable, the treatment outcomes, are how the volunteers do in the various groups. Statistical analysis will help determine how significantly (if at all) the groups differ from one another, and this will help determine relative effectiveness of the treatments.
