What is MANIPULATED VARIABLE? An independent variable one can alter to get a particular effect. For example, for a period of time to see how one's weight changes in response, one can lower one's calories intake, as calories is the manipulated variable, to learn if one's weight depends on the amount of calories one consumes.

The independent (or manipulated) variable is something that the experimenter purposely changes or varies over the course of the investigation. The dependent (or responding) variable is the one that is observed and likely changes in response to the independent variable. For example, a student might change the position of a planeâs wing to see how it affects the average speed of a model plane. The wing position would be the independent variable- because the student purposely changes its location.
