12. The Variable ----- is a parameter that can exist in differing amounts of types.

13. Types of Variable 1. Independent Variable – this is the stimulus variable which is chosen by the researcher to determine its relationship to an observed phenomenon.

14. Types of Variable 2. Dependent Variable – this is the response variable which is observed and measured to determine the effect of the independent variable. It changes when independent variable changes.

15. Types of Variable 3 . Control Variable – a variable controlled by the investigator in which the effects can be neutralized by eliminating or removing the variable. 4 . Intervening Variable – a variable which interferes with the independent and dependent variables, but its effects can either strengthen or weaken the independent and dependent variables.

16. Types of Variable 5 . Moderator Variable – this is a secondary or special type of independent variable chosen by the researcher to determine if it changes or modifies the relationships between the independent and dependent variables .
