An independent variable is one which the researcher manipulates to test the effects on the dependent variable. Thus, the dependent variable is the variable which the researcher measures after making changes to the independent variable.<br \/>\nFor example, a researcher may wish to test the effect of type of information (random or organised) provided to participants on recall. In this example, the independent variable would be the type of information displayed and the dependent variable would be the amount of information recalled.<\/p>\n<h2>References<\/h2>\n<!-- AddThis
