The four kinds of variable

The four kinds of variable

A variable is anything in a study that can change from one person or condition to another. In an experiment, the independent variable is changed and the dependent variable is measured. A correlation is a separate type of relationship: it describes an association between two co-variables and does not feed into an experiment or give either variable a dependent-variable status.
