IV/DV
This type of variable is the one that is being measured or predicted in an experiment or study.
The two most fundamental kinds of variables are these and qualitative variables
What are quantitative variables?
These are the 3 kinds of categorical variables
T/F: Discrete variables are a kind of categorical variable
False (numerical)
In an experiment, this type of variable is manipulated to see if it affects the dependent variable.
What is an independent variable?
Variables that are descriptive and cannot have mathematical operations applied to them are called this or qualitative variables
What are categorical variables?
Binary variables are also known as these kind of variables
What are dichotomous variables?
The two kinds of numerical variables are these and continuous variables
A variable that takes on distinct, countable, whole-number values is called this kind of variable
What is a discrete variable?
Also known as an experimental or predictor variable, this factor is manipulated by the researcher to observe its effect on another variable
What is an independent variable?
This kind of variable is also referred to as a numerical variable
What are quantitative variables?
These variables are a kind of categorical variable with no intrinsic order or ranking
What are nominal variables?
The number of workers in an office is an example of this kind of numerical variable
There are 2 kinds of numerical variables and this many kinds of categorical variables
These variables, typically called independent or experimental variables, are used to predict the value of a dependent variable
What are predictor variables?
These kind of variables are also referred to as categorical variables
What are qualitative variables?
These variables are a kind of categorical variable that have a ranking or order to them, even if the difference between values isn't equal or measurable
What are ordinal variables?
Weight is an example of this kind of numerical variable
What is a continuous variable?
Likert scale values are typically considered to be this kind of data
These three terms are used interchangeably to describe what the experimenter deliberately manipulates
What are predictor, experimental, and independent variables?
The two fundamental kinds of variables are qualitative/quantitative or this/that, respectively
What are categorical/numerical variables?
Lifestyle intervention (sleep, exercise, meditation) is an example of this kind of categorical variable
What is a nominal variable?
While discrete variables can only take on whole number values, this kind of variable can have partial-unit values
What are continuous variables?
There is general agreement that Likert scales using over this many values can be treated as interval data
What is 7?
