Any property or factor that a researcher measures, controls, and /or manipulates. It is a logical set of characteristics, numbers, or quantities that can be measured or counted. Variables
variables with values that normally describe a measurable numerical quantity 1. Numeric Variable -these can be obtained by measuring or computation Examples: income, time, height, weight, length A. Continuous variables B. Discrete variables -these can be obtained by counting & assume any whole value within the limits of given variables Examples: no. of family members, number of votes,

2. Categorical Variables A. Ordinal Variables - these are values that can be logically arranged or ranked Examples: academic grades such as A, B, C, rank such as first, second, third -these are values that can be logically arranged or ranked - these variables represent only two categories when observed and measured Examples: gender (male or female), answer (yes or no) C. Dichotomous Variables B. Nominal Variables - these are values that cannot be arranged in a logical order or sequence Examples: nationality, hair and eye color D. Polychotomous Variables - these are variables that can have more than two values Examples: educational attainment ( elementary, high school, college, graduate, post graduate)

-anything that can change or be changed 3. Experimental Variables a. Independent Variables - these are manipulated variables that cause a change in another variable b. Dependent Variables -these variables are usually affected by the manipulation of the independent variables - these are responses or effects that result from the treatment or condition employed c. Extraneous Variables -these are not included in the study but may affect the dependent variable
