A

Causal

25
Q

Hypotheses separated by time, distance etc. making these variables unable to be related to each other

A

Artificial

26

This variable is observable in nature, present throughout the study from start to end, and is outside the interest of control

A

Extraneous

27
Q

This variable is present only when conducting the study, and is nonbservable,
