Jose has just completed a study on the effects of structural family therapy. His hypothesis was that

there would be a relationship between structural family therapy and preserving the family system.

In
terms of constructing operational definitions for preserving the family system, he designed two
separate indicators: (1) family system residing in the same dwelling, and (2) the amount of emergency

services. What type of variable is preserving the family system?
