The dependent variable is the variable that is being measured or tested in an experiment. In this case, the dependent variable is the participants' attitudes toward public education, which is measured through their responses to the survey. The independent variable is the participants' experience with Indian Boarding School or lack thereof. Gender and age are also controlled for as the researcher aims to include a mix of both male and female participants and younger as well as older adults in each group.
