What is the difference between an independent and a dependent variable?
What will be an ideal response?
In an experiment, the independent variable (IV) is the variable that the experimenter manipulates in order to see if it behaviors change when the level of the IV changes. The dependent variable (DV) is the measurement made relating to the effect of the IV. That is, the value of the DV (i.e., the measurement of a behavior) will vary as the value of the IV varies when the IV has a causal relation to the DV.
