The dependent variable is the variable that is being measured in an experiment. For example, in a study looking at how tutoring impacts test scores, the dependent variable would be the participants' test scores. In a psychology experiment, researchers are looking at how changes in the independent variable cause changes in the dependent variable.
A variable is anything that can vary, i.e. changed or be changed, such as memory, attention, time taken to perform a task, etc. Variable are given a special name that only applies to experimental investigations. One is called the dependent variable and the other the independent variable. In an experiment, the researcher is looking for the possible effect on the dependent variable that might be caused by changing the independent variable. â¢ Independent variable (IV) : Variable the experimenter manipulates (i.e. changes) â assumed to have a direct effect on the dependent variable. â¢ Dependent variable (DV) : Variable the experimenter measures, after making changes to the IV that are assumed to affect the DV. For example, we might change the type of information (e.g. organized or random) given to participants to see what effect this might have on the amount of information remembered.
