Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The aggressive behavior of the participant is being measured and observed as a result of exposure to different room temperatures, making it the dependent variable. The independent variable is the room temperature, which is being manipulated to observe its effect on the dependent variable. Control variables are the ones that are held constant throughout the experiment to prevent their effects on the dependent variable, and confounding variables are those that may interfere with the results, but in this case, they are not mentioned.
