Conducting a research study involves the use of variables to understand their relationship in a given condition. Variables are factors or components in the research that would be studied. The variable that is controlled by the researcher and has been hypothesized to bring about the change in other variables is known as the independent variable (IV). The variable that is dependant on the independent variable, so that it changes whenever there is a change in the IV, is known as the dependent variable (DV). Research would bring out the best results when these variables are defined and conditions are controlled.
