Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Situational variables refer to the environmental or external factors that can affect behavior or outcomes. In this case, temperature in the room is a situational variable because it is an external factor that can potentially influence behavior, mood, and performance. The other options listed (reasoning ability, performance on a weight-lifting task, and ratings for the humor of several comic strips) are not situational variables as they do not refer to external factors in the environment.
