Types of Variable According to Value on Scale
Is a variable that can assume a continuous scale rather than distinct points on a scale
Continuous Variable
It is hypothesized to affect the dependent variable
Independent Variable
It provides an order or rank of the value
Ordinal
A research that uses interviews, questionnaires, and sampling polls to get a sense of behavior with intense precision.
Survey research
It assumes a distinct point on a scale
Discrete Variable
It changes as a result of an intervention or experiment
Dependent Variable
It provides a label, categorization, or classification.
Nominal
A research that tests the relationships between two variables
Correlational Research
Enumerate the two (2) types of variable according to scale
Discrete and Continuous Scale
Enumerate the two (2) types of variable according to roles taken by the variable
Independent and Dependent Variable
The difference between two points
Interval
A type of research that looks to uncover a cause and effect relationship.
Causal-Comparative Research
What is continuous variable?
Is a variable that can assume a continuous scale rather than distinct points on a scale
What is independent variable?
It is hypothesized to affect the dependent variable
It has the property of nominal, ordinal, and interval scale and possesses a true zero point
Ratio
A research that is guided specifically by a hypothesis.
Experimental Research
What is discrete variable?
It assumes a distinct point on a scale
What is dependent variable?
It changes as a result of an intervention or experiment
Enumerate the four (4) types of variable according to levels of measurement
Nominal, Ordinal, Interval, Ratio
Enumerate the four (4) types of quantitative research
Survey research, correlational research, casual-comparative research, experimental research.
