Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Manipulation checks are measurement tools that evaluate whether a manipulative treatment has properly been applied and whether it has led to the expected changes in the study's independent variable. They can therefore be used to determine the effectiveness of our manipulations. Dependent variables (A) are affected by the independent variable and are measured to determine the effect of the independent variable. Validity tests (B) determine the extent to which a test or experiment measures what it is supposed to measure. Manipulation variables (D) do not exist as a commonly used term in research methodology.
