Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The dependent variable is also known as the criterion variable because it is the variable that is being measured or evaluated in relation to the independent variable. It is the variable that the researcher is interested in and wants to see how it is affected by manipulating the independent variable. Option A, measure, is too general and could apply to both independent and dependent variables. Option C, principle, and option D, standard, are not commonly used terms to refer to the dependent variable.
