is the variable that is being manipulated, or the one that varies. It is
sometimes called the ‘predictor’ or ‘treatment’ variable.

Q

is any variable that you’re not investigating that can potentially
affect the outcomes of your research study. If left uncontrolled, it
can lead to inaccurate conclusions about the relationship
between independent and dependent variables.
