Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The dependent variable is the variable that is affected by the independent variable. Therefore, it depends upon the effects of the independent variable. The manipulation variable refers to the independent variable itself that is manipulated, while the control variable refers to a factor that is kept constant to prevent it from affecting the outcome. The placebo variable is not a commonly used term in experimental design.
